The current issue is introduced species in the past 200 years changing the undergrowth, people fighting preventive burn-offs, tree changers moving to the bush and social media making everything a crisis.
Bush fires are of course down across the world[1] and continues to decrease, Australia is probably going down but it's hard to tell relative to death tolls since data is mostly a few large incidents. It might just be hitting a local maxima.
On a bright note education about airborne pollution is up and getting the attention it deserves.
