You tried to light a new fire in their fireplace when there were still lit embers from the previous fire. There's a bug where that makes them really mad. They'll forgive you if you go away for a few months.

Thanks for investigating it.
* glowing embers from nearby burnt-out fires helps you to start new ones. This is automatically checked if you start making a fire with glowing remains at adjacent tile. (https://www.unrealworld.fi/forums/index.php?topic=5628.0)
Looks like adding fuel to embers doesn't automatically start a new fire. I'll have to check in game.

If you start a fire adjacent to an existing fire you almost always succeed, and the same should go for embers. In contrast, if you're unlucky, you may spend hours trying to light a fire in your fireplace (when there are no embers in it).

Embers shouldn't normally result in a fire, as you typically have to blow on them both to get them to increase to fire level, and to get through the ash that would insulate the new fuel from the embers if you just place it on top of the ash covering the embers.

This issue is fixed now. It was first reported here: https://www.unrealworld.fi/forums/index.php?topic=5707.0
Villagers mistakenly consider the fire making attempt illegal if there were certain size warm embers at the site.

Fixed - persists in 3.63.
