  Look on	to watch something happen but not become involved in it
  Look out	to watch what is happening and be careful
  Look away	to avert one's gaze
  Look above	This is not a phrasal verb rather a simple construction meaning 'to look higher kêu ca...'

•  The correct phrasal verb is 'looked on' as it conveys the meaning that the firefighters (being professionals) fought the blaze while the crowd (who has no experience of handling such a disaster) noticed it without participating in it
   

Thus the correct sentence is: The firefighters fought the blaze while the crowd looked on.
