They must have been told light aircraft has crashed and maybe never thought it was a jet. To my knowledge a Citation uses A1 Jet Fuel and not LPG. Considering it's surrounding's it could have been much worse.
We're going way off topic here, but I'll reply to this anyway.

Have you not considered what may be under and around the accident site? The garage containing several patio heater gas cylinders, the various paints and solvents stored in garages, the gas supply to the affected house etc etc? LPG cylinders go BANG in a big way, and Jet A1 (not A1 Jet) is a pussycat in comparison.. A Fire officer will need to weigh up the risks before comitting men to the scene. It would have been fairly obvious that there was no immediate threat to life, so the next stage would have been to secure the accident scene, no matter how long it takes....

Think before you write.....
