I believe that Pony and Johnny are still heroes. Even though they started the fire, they learned from their mistakes. They still saved 8 children (I believe) from burning to death. Johnny (spoiler) even dies from trying to save the children and getting them out safely. They are heroes. Dally on the other hand isn't. It even says so in the book.
