I read the article, this is not an example of a claim that its's a good thing. Sure its a laughable attempt to downplay how serious it is, but he in no way claimed it was overall a good thing. Manageable means it is negative but not significant, he isn't praising wildfires and begging for more of them.
This is going to be the worst year for forest fires in Canada, ever. They're downplaying the implication of this because they're the ones who keep making laws to keep industrial polluters safe.
Ok, I don't see how that relates to my point though.
