WHO called the FD? The homeowner or someone else? If someone else does the FD have any legal right to come in to your home, ask you to leave or even fight a fire(assuming there's not obvious and immediate danger to other homes)?

I would think this would vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. I think in general the courts would side with the firefighters who were making a good-faith effort to put out the fire. Its not like they are equipped to verify, in the heat of the moment (as it were) that the nutjob asking them to cease, desist and leave is in fact the registered owner of the property in question...it would kinda suck to find out that the arsonist that just burned down your barn is also the guy who turned the fire department away when they rolled up to put out the blaze.

Obviously he could just be a nutball but the fact he had all the right paperwork and such a varied collection indicates to me there's a lot more here than the article reveals.

Well, that is DEFINATELY true.
