Using geomac.gov

Yes, there is a small trick to using geomac.gov. To see the hot spots picked up by satellite you have to turn them on.
Steps:
1. Go to geomac.gov
2. Scroll into the area you want to see. Don't get too close or the hot spots will not show up when you click them.
3. Click the box called Data Layers. A menu will show below the Data Layers button.
4. Click the triangle in front of Active Fires. Another menu will show below that.
5. Click the box in front of MODIS and HMS
Tah Dah! The hot spots will come up.
I also turn on the Street Map under Base Data.
Then I click the Data Layers box to make the menu go away.
You can see the fires anywhere in the US and Canada.
