>but the size and damage of them increasing

Is your assertion that climate change is causing bigger fires, or could there be other contributing factors ie controlled burning, development etc?

The #1 contributing factor in this case is the western pine beetle, which exploded in range when winters stopped being cold enough to kill them off, and left stands of dead forests in its wake. Climate change is a direct culprit.
