Since he said, "<I>They've</I> picked up our trail!" (at the very start), I'm pretty sure they assumed it was the men they had to fight through to get to the hobbits. As to them lighting the fire in the first place, like HC said, they did it in the book too. & I thought PJ did a good job of explaining the Ents/Hurons anger at the orcs for their branch-cutting antics.
