Stranded on a random lot because of a fire.

I was bouncing from fishing location to fishing location by traveling to a random lot and looking for fishing signs. Because I had no interest in visiting the sims who lived there, I never knocked on the door to gain access. As my Sim is fishing, I get a notification that the lot I had traveled to was on fire. I can't call the fire department or extinguish the fire myself because I didn't get into the house before it caught on fire, but the owner of the house also won't call the fire department or extinguish the fire. I can't travel or take control of my other Sim on my lot because a fire is in progress. do I just have to wait this out until the house stops burning or is there something I can do to either put out the fire or leave? also, is there an easier way to access fishing locations without risking being trapped on someone else's lot?
