How might the tropics freeze while the poles melt?

Let's say I have a world that contains magical fire and ice creatures. These creatures can utilize magical beams of energy that ignite or freeze the things around them, though doing so on more than say a city block at a time tires them out quickly.

Normally, one would imagine the ice creatures lived at the poles and the fire at the equator, but I want this to be reversed, so the fire creatures populate the poles and the ice the equator. Is it reasonable for a natural population of such creatures to begin to reverse the climates of these regions, and what effects might this have on the planet? If the creatures would be negligible, what external events might cause this reversal instead?
