Actually, what is before the verb is emphasized. That is for the Hungarian sentence. In this case, "tűzoltók" is emphasized, with a normal emphasis.
Your version is acceptable although a bit weird. It would be more natural like this:
"A házhoz érkeznek tűzoltók." - if you wanted to emphasize the house.
I find it helpful to make up questions for the sentences:
Kik érkeznek a házhoz? - Who arrives at the house?
Tűzoltók érkeznek a házhoz.
Tűzoltók hova érkeznek? - At what place do firefighters arrive? (trying to make it sound weird).
Tűzoltók a házhoz érkeznek.
Hova érkeznek tűzoltók? - Where do firefighters arrive?
A házhoz érkeznek tűzoltók.
