This is largely a forest management issue and not one of global heating.
Forest management used to focus on eliminating fires entirely. This has the impact of building up brush to the point where any fire became massive. They thought they were reducing fires, but they actually just increased amplitude and decreased frequency.
It’s kinda like dams for flood control, but with different time scales. A few dams for flood control reduces flood frequency massively, and we build up population centers in what was previously deserted floodplain. Then a flood (dam failure eg Oroville came pretty close) has a huuuuge systemic and possibly chain reaction, trading semiannual road blockages from minor flooding into one Whoa Noah every hundred years.
