What is making these spread? Is it lack of forest management / controlled burns, etc?

NATO is burning. This is a fact. More than 5000 critical-level wildfires active in USA and Canada West coast.
China and Russia are doing relatively well at least. Except by Volgograd Oblast, that is boiling, and some Siberian activity below the expected average, most of Russia is quiet. China has less active wildfires than Spain.
And if you think that this, or the 652 wildfires in France and other 670 in Spain are bad, check the more than 30.000 critical-level wildfires active in Angola, Zambia and other African countries. African rainforest is a smoking disaster right now.
