I agree. If a deer passed by at 100 yards, that signal would be overwhelmed. I would bet there was an unknown habitat closer to the fire.
But it also says "before the fire could be extinguished" and it burned for 2 days. it's not clear that they arrived the first day. The beetles might have picked up on the smoke by then, or the light at night.
