Active fire mapping in Google Earth

Want to know where fires are breaking out around the country? The US Forest Service maintains coordinates of active fires that you view in Google Earth.

View the live map in Google Earth (note: requires Google Earth to be installed)

US Forest Service Active Fires Map – The USFS has a web site dedicated to tracking active fires. They use a combination of satellites from space which detect the fires, and combine that with ground-based information to produce the maps. All data points are placemarks with further information. Check out the fire map [Google Earth File. You must have GE installed.] for the continental US which includes the California fires.
