Accidentally? No. They purposely set the blaze believing they could control it, then found themselves not up to the task and so almost WTREX'd an entire forest.
I understand that fire will behave as fire does, and that a burn can go from controlled to inferno in moments, but "suddenly wind shift" feels more than a bit suspicious.
I feel this is a subtle difference between masculine and feminine mentalities.
Maybe there was nothing they could do, but did they really do everything? Or was the attitude more "it's not worth my life/someone else will deal with this"?
Whereas the masculine mentality is "I need to succeed, safety and comfort are secondary considerations" which is, of course, considered toxic but could well have prevented these fires.

Men would have died trying to make sure nobody else was hurt and that the entire ecosystem didn't burn down.
