The controlled burn in 1991 turned into the firestorm of 1991 that took out almost 3,000 homes and killed 25.
It seems firefighters are not conservative enough when it comes to putting out fires, at least in these 2 cases.

Odd conclusion to draw from only two data points over 30 years apart.
The devastation those two fires cost is quite large, though. And, those are just the two I know about, the latest because of the linked article and the earlier one because I lived very near the fire line and know multiple people who lost homes.
