If the firefighter set the building on fire himself, then decided to go in and help the people after it has already burned for a while, and then willingly died in the fire he himself started, then yes that is still suicide (along with homicide).
But wait, if you are gonna equate this to the biblical scenario, then the firefighter would just go in the front door, get to the people and say "Yo dudes, I just remembered I've got some chores back home I need to do before rescuing you. Now don't try to get out or trust anyone else to help you. I can't say when, but I'll definitely come back to rescue you all at some point so just stay put in this burning place. Cya!"
