This happened about 7 years ago in one of the high dessert exurbs of Los Angeles. Late summer and fall are what is locally called the "fire season" in southern california - it's what we have while everyone else has autumn. The fire authorities endlessly warn people to cut back brush at least 200 feet from their houses in such areas. But the EPA warned homeowners not to do it because they discovered some endangered rodent was nesting nearby in the brush. You guessed it - the next brush fire burned down twenty homes.
