"big fires are nothing new in the US"

Using 747s to fight them is new, and yet... the fires keep burning more territory.
According to data from the NIFC, there has been a clear trend in increased area burned by wildfires in the US since the 1980s, when reliable US-wide estimates based on fire situation reports from federal and state agencies became available.

Today, wildfires are burning more than twice the area than in the 1980s and 1990s.
