A few feet is fine, dirt is a great insulator and it's not like chernobyl is burning above it.
Most likely it's a building the fiber came up in for termination or boosting that caught fire. In that case they're in for a prolonged outage.
Could also be a place where the fiber had to run down a pole.

True. After some fires I have been to there was quite a bit of damage a few feet down.
