Mapping U.S. wildfire data from public feeds by David Clark.
From the post:
With the Mapbox Datasets API, you can create data-based maps that continuously update. As new data arrives, you can push incremental changes to your datasets, then update connected tilesets or use the data directly in a map.
U.S. wildfires have been in the news this summer, as they are every summer, so I set out to create an automatically updating wildfire map.

An excellent example of using public data feeds to create a resource not otherwise available.
Historical fire data can be found at: Federal Wildland Fire Occurrence Data, spanning 1980 through 2015.
The Outlooks page of the National Interagency Coordination Center provides four month (from current month) outlook and weekly outlook fire potential reports and maps.
