There's not just a single fire. There were over 130 in Quebec alone as of two days ago, most of which were started by lightning strikes.

I think the problem is the undergrowth, Canada is very sparsely populated so it’s not like they’re really clearing out the forest so to say, that way, when lightning does strike has plenty of kindling to keep the fires is going

The bigger problem is the hotter and dryer conditions.
