Fire Information for Resource Management (FIRMS) at the University of Maryland is now offering KML to view MODIS Hotspot detections for the past 24 hours using Google Earth. Check out the Southern California fires that blew up this weekend. FIRMS KML link. Cheers, Josh

while the little flame images are cute (if you aren't living near one), another source that i'm guessing is the original data can be found at http://activefiremaps.fs.fed.us/kml/conus.kmz

there's additional infomation and layers in that kmz.
