Well, the spiritual leaders of the Fire Nation (being the sages) may be able to tell when an Avatar has died, and if they had gotten no signs of his passing or the new Avatar's birth (if they are able to tell of that as well), then they'd think the Avatar's in hiding. They did seem to scour the Water Tribes, though; remember, the Southern Water Tribe has been attacked at least twice and the Fire Nation navy has its own dedicated branch for attacks in the south, the Southern Raiders.
