Hero Syndrome

The hero syndrome is a phenomenon affecting people who seek heroism or recognition, usually by creating a desperate situation which they can resolve. This can include unlawful acts, such as arson. The phenomenon has been noted to affect civil servants, such as firefighters, nurses, police officers and security guards.

Match-pump Approach

Hypocrisy or a hypocritical way of doing things. You cause some bad problems to occur, while making sure that nobody knows that you are the cause of them, and then come up solutions to them so that you will be seen as as a saviour by all around you, as if you set fire on something with a match yourself and pumped water onto it as a hero citizen, pretending that you happen to be there.

google it, its real.
