The Washington Post article goes over the threats and there is nothing substantiating the armed militia.

It would be a bit odd to me for the national guard to report to the US Forestry that they saw an armed militia and wouldn't be actively pursuing it. Seems more likely is was a miscommunication in a hectic environment.

They did. The threat was established to be incorrect and the lone person making the threat was detained, and workers are back in the area.
