Well, from a news report, you can't tell if coordination happened or not. Most likely, in a situation like this, dispatch would have contacted the Incident Commander before giving the OK. Did this happen?

We're surrounded on all sides by BLM and AZ land with nothing on it. I would not allow my house and cattle, if I had any, to be destroyed because the government agencies didn't feel the need to fight the fire. Or worse, started it in the first place.

There's a Lex/Con moment in our future. The question is when, where, and why.
