Besides, their job is not to worry about one house, it's to worry about a row of houses, a neighborhood, and LIVES. I'm sure the old man would rather have a crapped out house than one that killed him or his neighbors. Opening a superheated window would be extremely dangerous for a firefighter, not to mention a complete waste of time. They have to move FAST to address all the issues of the fire, not putz around with a window while the fire spreads to the next house because they were too slow.
