Oregon wildfire a view from my front door

[kdog]

A question:

Are these fires more frequent these days? During the past 3 or 4 years or so?

Or is it that i am paying more attention, because i have had the pleasure of getting to know some people from the United States of America, and i care about them? Or is it just that there is more media coverage about these fires nowadays?

I am puzzled here

I think they have been getting worse over the last few decades. Actually , seems like alot of weather has gotten worse , in my opinion.
