Burned areas are the base maps?
And "cover" maps are then LC/slope?

Did you consider to use

r.mask vector=BurnedAreas [where="SomeColumn='SomeValue'"]

and then `g.region zoom=MASK` and then, maybe, grow a bit the region with the
new(est) `g.region pixels=` option and, finally, redo the MASK,

so at least to get the computational region to include all of it?

Vero, I recall some similar situation years ago (described somewhere in
a messy script in https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/804) with a
specific problem that lead to `g.region pixels=`, see:
the step-by-step process https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/789.

I hope this is not confusing more.
