This is the nationwide ICS website. It lists all emergencies, not just fires. But it does have a hand map.

A significant number of aircraft have been mobilized to assist with the heavy fire activity. Six heavy airtankers, three 1,500-gallon scoopers, 15 single-engine airtankers, 12 helicopters, and 12 aerial supervision aircraft are in place. Eight National Guard Blackhawk and three Chinook helicopters have been providing critical aerial support. In addition, a 12,000-gallon DC-10 airtanker will be activated Friday morning at the Austin-Bergstrom Airport.
I count 47 aircraft.

A Type I ICS team is on the Bastrop fire. A Type I team is as big as it gets. Two other Type I teams are now being set up to try to shut down the other fires in the state. These are the big guns and this is being taken very seriously by the Governor's office.
