do firefighters not get qualified immunity when acting in their official capacity? I think in this case jail might mean pay a big fine.

Realistically though if california wanted to fund and manage this i'm sure the feds would be extatic.

They do. But torching federal land might be somewhere the federal courts wouldn't find it.

Putting the matter of settled law to one side, I think the discussion here is about criminal liability, not civil.
