They are around. They are holding at bay until they get the all clear . Currently their job is to make sure that Dorner hasn't escaped, or is hiding in the surrounding area. They don't know if Dorner used the fire as a distraction or not.

So this guy just burned himself alive

There has been no confirmation that he did. They can't even confirm that there is even a body. All we know is that the house has burned. That there was one gun shot heard prior to the home being burned. That one hostage was able to escape. That they are currently waiting to get the all clear form the fire fighters that its okay to enter the structure safely.
You are jumping to conclusions based on nothing.

and the cops still cant find the place or firefighters?

You need to stop while you are way behind. You also need to educate yourself on procedures concerning structure fires, and who is responsible for what.
Have you never followed a structure fire on the news?

I read there was a shootout and they were pumping tear gas into the joint.

Again, you aren't reading the reports. There was an altercation with police prior to Dorner escaping to a cabin. Two police officers were shot, and both were taken to a local hospital; one has died, the other was in surgery. The police were up there because they were notifed by a Ranger who's car was forcibly taken by Dorner. He was the one that notifed the police of his location. Police showed up to the location to investigate. Tear gas was launched toward the home, but there is no word on if it had any effect (all Dorner needed was a gas mask to protect himself, and with the amount of items he was buying and arsenal he was purported to have, I wouldn't doubt he would have something that would protect him from tear gas. HE was, after all, a police officer for a while, so he would know what they would use).
A tank was used, that took down the walls of the cabin, shortly after the structure was set ablaze. Who or what started the fire is not known at this time.
The police cleared the area around the cabin, as the fire fighters showed up. They let the structure burn due to safety (they didn't know if Dorner was hiding nearby or still within the structure). Until the fire fighters (chief and inspector) clears the structure, no one can enter the structure.

Your expertise on firefighting doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
|
So you rather have cops enter a building that just had a 1200 degree blaze without knowing the stability of the structure, checking for safety (what if there was an open gas main?), if there are hot spots, or any confirmation from around the structure to see if it was safe so they can investigate a building that has been doused with thousands of gallons of water?
REally, talk to a firefighter. They can tell you what can or can't be done with a recently doused fire.

This is some cabin the the woods and the most wanted guy in the state was in there.

This wasn't just some "cabin" in the woods. It was a full 2 story structure, like any nice home you'd find in Torrance or Hollywood. A fire just blazed through the entire structure. A fire that can reach up to temperatures up to 1200 degrees.
Would you enter a house that was just burned, to check for bodies without knowing if the structure was safe?
You are really stretching with your failed logic.
