By Federal law, you can not discharge random water anywhere you see fit. - Forrest fires or not.
If you read the guidelines further, you can not channel your storm drain water into any entity which will impact the ecosystem. So no, you can not drain your swimming pools water into the creek that is in the back yard or dump antifreeze into the nearest storm drain on the street. - It falls under the same EPA guidelines.

I myself couldn't care less if it burns to the ground. That goes for my California property too where my insurance premiums are through the roof.
