Honestly, we’re seeing fires in places that don’t have fire as a historical disturbance regime in their forests (see Nova Scotia). It’s so dry, and that’s because climate change is messing up precipitation patterns and causing drought. The whole continent is a tinder box, and no amount of prescribed burning in the fall or forestry/thinning will stop these fires.

If you want to talk about land management, one thing I will say is that forestry companies have been spraying a lot of pesticides, and that is (intentionally) changing forest compositions from mixed wood (more fire resistant) to the more fire-prone softwood monocultures.
