This is one that begs for ‘the rest of the story’.

” less-than-140 acres of BLM land that was accidentally impacted” Ny BS meter is pegging on this phrase. I wonder if it means they burned land that belongs to the taxpayer.

That's what it means, but without intent. They burned their own land, and the fire spread to 140 acres of adjacent land controlled by BLM. This was not terrorism. It was normal maintenance by politically incorrect ranchers who eat meat and own guns, so the thuggish administration in DC went after them.
