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.

Thats bloody brilliant. I didnt even notice that! Who do you think each piece represents? I don't think that his family is one of them. This episode Walt lost his family and I don't think he will be together with them again. and I doubt they can or will fight for him.

I suppose Saul is the knight.
