I really can' t say for sure but I have a friend that had a truck pull up in a field beside his house and the hot muffler caught the sage brush on fire,along with the truck.(long story and huge moron).Anyway,the fire burnt about 5 acres and the rest of the field was fine.My friend would report seing deer in the fresh regrowth in the middle of the day right beside his house on several occasions and I' m talking within a matter of days.
I know this is a much smaller scale but that' s why I say to keep your eye out.
