Thanks for these KC6NAH,
I also was recently pointed to this post: http://www.gearthblog.com/blog/archives/2007/10/ california_fires_satellite_photos_f.html (or try http://tinyurl.com/2o4964 )
If you use Google Earth, the most valuable overlay here is from the USFS, showing active fires within the last 12 and 24 hours, and 6 days, as well as the type of incident.
The Nasa imagery overlays are very informative as well.
Best,
