    Depends on where it’s located.

    In some areas with very active fire suppression, they allowed massive buildup of material to burn. This is what happened to Yellowstone and a bunch of national forest around the west and into Canada.

    In other areas drought is causing more frequent and hotter burns. This is what is is happening in the Southwest now with the mega-drought.
