See the link for an up-to-date wildfire map of the U.S.
You can use the slider on the left to zoom in and see the fires separately.

Aug. 3, 2015

As temperatures warm and large parts of the U.S. become drier, wildfires are becoming more common and widespread — a trend likely to worsen thanks to climate change caused by human greenhouse gas emissions, as well as land use change and population growth. At the same time, population growth in and around lands that typically see wildfires may be responsible for increased losses from these blazes.

The interactive is based on data from the Geospatial Multi-Agency Coordination Group; the information is updated once a day from reports by fire managers on the scene, satellite imagery and GPS data, among other sources.

Due to a bug in blogger, only the western part of the map shows up in my blog, but that shows almost all of the wildfires.
