Statistically this isn’t occuring more than normally
I mean, it’s hard to say without doing some kind of actual statistical analysis.
If the reporting is purely stochastic, driven by arbitrary changes in click-through habits, then it is very possible that fires are more common and people are more interested because they’ve been seeing more of them in their neighborhoods. It’s also possible that fires are less common and people are curious about them because they’re such a novelty.
Idfk. But I wouldn’t be quite so blase about an uptick in stories absent any actual baseline of the event.
