> The article is exactly the kind of anti-sensationalist article that brings the proper context and data to the forefront and highlights the actual challenges. The article is a spin. It takes the fact "number of fires has gone down" and sells it as "forest fires are not that big a deal as you may think". In fact, forest fires are a bigger problem now than they were in the recent past. See my other comment on this topic.
