Hey Frank,
Why don't you have a look at this chart of annual forest fires in Canada since 1970.

Despite the number of forest fires being in decline since 2000, we are seeing more and more area being burned. In fact in 2023 and 2025 the graphical representation of the area burned exceeds the number of forest fires recorded for the first time in 55 years. What this tells me is that we're doing a comparatively poor job in managing our forests. But of course the climate bed betters want to blame global warming for these which is provably utter nonsense.
