It's been pointed out that there's no national fire extent map, with the best being a google overlay drawing in the CAP data from the state emergency services. Might we be able to build a national map from this data until all the states converge on data release?

I've seen a few fire maps from news outlets, but not sure where they got the data

The Sun (UK):

myfirewatch (WA):

CBS News:

It looks like the guardian has referenced data:

• animating hotspot data
• burnt areas from satellite imagery
