i agree that cyber's firefighter protection demand is suspect. but we have to consider a few things:

arson isn't too common,and claiming to have been doused is surely dumb unless it actually happened:
a. if there's no arson, no firefighter, wtf is he doing? gotta be mafia...
b. claiming he was doused makes no sense usually...he'd know that, so claiming that would be pretty dumb.
c. there are only 3 ways we see that he would know there's an arson:
(1) he's a role cop, and inspected one or the other. but then he wouldn't have been able to confirm himself to me.
(2) he is the firefighter or the arson. which he isn't, because again, he wouldn't have been able to confirm himself to me.
(3) we are mafia, the arson is mafia (which as we've seen is a dumb idea) and i'm in cahoots with him.
(4) his claim is true, he's been doused and is a friendly neighbor.
