Increase in logging would not lead to the reason for the recent forest fires in the U.S.
The management policies in the US government try to stop or control wildfires.
A decade of drought will be the reason for the recent increase in forest fires in the US.
The temporary reduction in the water availability below normal in an area is called drought. It is a creeping or slow-onset natural hazard. It is just opposite to flood. It does not strictly fall on the hydro-meteorological hazard. Because there is no water.
The increased size in the forest will not be the reason for the recent increase in forest fires in the US.
The decade of severe drought creates water shortage in the regions and the vegetation are really to catch the fire causing the recent wildfires in the United States.
