Yet another smoke map:

In the box on the left, click:
HRRR: Near Surface Smoke
Fire Detections
It should look something like this:

Regarding Fire/Smoke Map 13 Sep 2020, what are the red dots?

Fire detections also known as hot spots as seen from satellites using
the VIIRS and MODIS data. If you uncheck "Fire Detections" on the
left menu, the red dots will disappear. Here's a better view of the
satellite fire data:
https://firms2.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/map/
Yes, Africa and South America are on fire.

There's one in Portage WI. I was just there and any massive
conflagrations were well disguised. There's also a red dot
in Chicago where my daughter shared beach snapshots from a
clear dawn, no fires visible.

The satellite imaging is sensitive enough to detect a trash fires,
gasoline refinery gas flaring, volcanoes, large reflective surfaces,
solar power farms, factory rooftops, etc. See the FIRMS FAQ for more
detail than you probably want to read:
https://earthdata.nasa.gov/faq/firms-faq
See the section titled "What caveats should be considered when using
active fire data from FIRMS?" Also, super heated smoke plumes:

Thank you. I assume the red dot at Portage is the permanent
smoke plume from their huge power plant.

Y'er welcome. I didn't know that there was a power plant in Portage,
WI or I would have mentioned that it's probably a permanent anomaly.

If you get a blank map, go backwards one day. Thermal anomalies tend
to look like a fire 24x7 365 days per year. In the lower left of the
NASA Worldview map, select "1 year" for the duration (above the
forward/back arrows). Anything that's been "burning" for a year in
the same location is probably an anomaly:

The red dots seem to match the lat-long locations of the various
Wisconsin power plants:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_power_stations_in_Wisconsin
The plant in Portage is at 43.486111, -89.420278 which might be the
red dot below the "Wisconsin" label on the map.

Incidentally, if you click on "Add Layers" you can add smoke and land
details to the map.
