Yes. Distinguish between morally "obligating himself" and "legally required 
to." Even if what they did was despicable, I'd find it hard to argue that it 
was illegal.

In addition, it doesn't seem unreasonable to say "we'll put out fires for 
anyone who donates," which is what happened in practice.
