Do other states do this? In Texas, the state keeps a web page showing where all the major fires are. Hold your cursor over a site and it will tell you the name of the fire, when it started, and what percentage has been put out. (Names are often just the name of the county or sometimes the nearest town. Texas has 254 counties, and those west of a north-south line running from San Antonio to Ft. Worth are often very empty, so county names are common.)
Predictions are for an unusually hot and dry summer here, and that means lots of grass and forest fires. East Texas is pretty much like the Deep South, with forests, coal mines, the Klan, etc. The further west you go, the higher and drier it gets until you hit the Rockies in El Paso. Hundreds of miles of desert around there.
We had lots of forest fires back in 2011. Not something most people associate with Texas. LOL
Anyway, just wondering if other states had this sort of public fire site.
