You would be in pretty serious trouble if you were a professional firefighter. Otherwise, while it would have been appropriate for you to have called 911 on your neighbor's behalf, you are under no legal obligation at common law to do so. How to enforce such a duty?
The real question here is what exactly was your neighbor doing that caused the fire? Was it a reasonable thing for someone of his skill to be doing and doing it where he was doing it, if you see what I mean. If not, did he cause any foreseeable harm to others nearby?
It's sad that you felt unable even to call 911, but again, the average Joe is not expected to know how to put out fires. It's probably safer for everyone not to try unless you know what you're doing.
And gosh help the hero whose rescue attempt fails resulting in death rather than injury had the victim been ignored. There is also that unpleasant line of case law.

You are a *********. If that was your mom on fire, would you run? Better yet, your son? If you and your girlfriend got into a situation, she needs a man to step up. You are a soft batch.

I would have been frightened also, but I would have attempted to help him.
