That actually turned out to be an increase in frequency, albeit a small one: a Media Matters report from last summer put print coverage mentioning climate change at 6 percent, with TV coverage at a mere 2 percent. Any increase is good, since large wildfires have become more frequent and are expected to become even more frequent. (It's important to remember climate change isn't the only cause of the increased frequency, but it's a huge contributing factor to wildfires, and extreme weather in general.)
