    I think that most of that is just cloud.

    Here’s the NASA FIRMS fire map showing hot areas in red, where the fire is burning. Those are the “big blotches”, where there’s a collection of bright areas in infrared.

    The part that’s burning is a very small part of what’s visible on the submitted map.

    EDIT: Note that the map server seems to be unusually overloaded right now, and is responding fairly slowly; the red infrared spots took a while to come in for me.
