Hot Earth

“People around the world participated in the Global Day of Climate Action on Friday, a reminder that even though we're in the midst of one of the biggest health issues to face humanity, climate change stands to pose an even bigger threat — with increased chances of drought, wildfires, hurricanes, flooding and heat waves.”
If you look at the graphic (about the middle of the page) you can see that the temperatures are higher in the areas where there are forest fires, notably in western California and northern Russia.
I am wondering if the fires are causing the heat or the heat is causing the fires?
