The peer-reviewed science shows that the primary factor behind the increase in wildfire extent in the western U.S. is increased aridity and fuel load due to human-caused warming.

Intensifying Fire Season Aridity Portends Ongoing Expansion of Severe Wildfire in Western US Forests
Area burned by wildfire has increased in western US forests over recent decades. However, high-severity fire—fire that kills all or most trees—is also an important metric of fire activity given its d...

Critically, this means the "Expanding Atmospheric Sponge" can increase vegetation aridity, and hence flammability, *even in absence of regional precipitation decreases*. In fact, this can occur (at least episodically) even in places that see mean precipitation *increases*!
