That statement is based on the article rather than the graph itself.

While past active fire seasons have seen more individual fires β€” 1989 still holds the record with 10,998 fires β€” 2023 is notable for the total area burned. The previous record was set in 1995 with 7.1 million hectares burned; so far in 2023, a total of 13.9 million hectares has been burned.
