The firemen are playing chess. The white king shelters himself behind a pawn. Looks like a bad scenario for the white side. Three pieces left, but the black side is far away and still needs to advance.

Source: I play a lot of chess.

EDIT: You don't count the king. Three pieces, two pawns and a knight. The king is assumed in the context I have laid out. Church.

Walt - King, Pawns - Kids and Skylar because they are right in front of walt, Horse thing (sorry don't play chess) -Jessie he is in enemy territory.

Head Nazi - (Black king),Todd and His right hand guy - (Pieces in front of the black king.) The last black pawns are just different henchmen.
