Explanation:
Well, you can find information about "brushfire surveys" and "polls, but not "questionnaires". What I understand is that they take place after "benchmark surveys, the latter providing a baseline.

According to this document, "brushfire surveys" are also called "trial-heat surveys" but in a political context :

So, here I think the questionnaire is just a follow-up to a baseline questionnaire.

"A follow-up “brushfire” survey was given to 400 residents yesterday (Oct 1). Results will be available next week".

"Brushfire polling is a follow-up to the Benchmark poll and serves as a limited look into the community".

Petit questionnaire, I assume.

"brushfire: involving mobilization only on a small and local scale"

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/brushfire

It could be a "questionnaire à petite échelle", au niveau local.
