First responders request TFRs all the time for all sorts of reasons. Usually it's because they have aircraft operating in a certain area and they don't want to have to worry about news helicopters and aerial sightseers creating an unsafe situation. They just aren't that uncommon. There's one active right now north of Los Angeles for the fires. While it's certainly possible local law enforcement requested the TFR for nefarious purposes, the FAA is simply not going to second guess them, especially initially when time is of the essence.
