That is freaking insane. It seems they have more and more wildfires ever single year. Why is this pretty much only a problem in Cali? I never hear of wildfires anywhere else and yet there is 30+ fires in Cali every year. Also, it seems like the amount of fires is increasing too. Is that the case or am I only paying more attention lately?

There were a number of wildfires in the Southeast last year during the drought. Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg being the biggest one that comes to mind.

I think the Cali wildfires just happen near more people so they get more attention nationally.

Texas has had some bad ones the last few years. Wiped out a lot of homes in central texas recently. And DFW has some but they usually don't do much damage. South Dakota has bad wildfires too.....really all of the western states. But the population is so big in cali that the wildfires do a lot more damage than in other, less populated areas.
