Here is some intel ... via GOOGLE EARTH (required to view this file). http://www.northtreefire.com/gis/intel/butler_fspro.kmz

This shows 2 types of FSPro maps overlaid on the fire area.

Turn on the MODIS layer to see current fire detections...last I saw, the fire had reached the 5-19% probability range.
