The amount of area destroyed by fire depends on amount of resources allocated. Also, after huge fires there's likely to be better fire preparedness in later years. The y axis should be something like number * severity of wildfires.

Data from 1918 is available but in scanned form. I've manually digitized the total area data for Alberta and am working on adding them to the visualizations, but there are other useful pieces of information and 9 other provinces (and 3 territories) too! If we can digitize them, I'm sure we can convince NRCan to look over them and post them somewhere (or, maybe we should just politely ask them to do this).

Thanks to @_Magma__ for telling me about this dataset on Twitter.

Help wanted!
