Fiber on the pole

All utilities have to be atleast 3 feet down, I'm sure that the major ones are even deeper.
Not true. Many major fiber lines are above ground on poles. For example, most of the major lines across the canyons of the Santa Monica Mountains and along Pacific Coast Highway can be seen strung on pole lines along the highways. Also fiber to nodes that serve hundreds of homes are located on poles.

I'm in Time Warner (former Adelphia) territory about 5 miles away from the fireline. We lost a couple of local channels the T-W carries via a fiber loop for a few hours before the rerouted it around the ring the other way during the height of the disaster Sunday night.

We you have fires burning that hot, a few feet deep most likely would not be sufficient.
