I created a Google Earth Image Overlay which works pretty well at showing the scale of the fire. This overlay will grab the the 'Photo-like image' directly from NASA.

Just open up 'Vic Fires 9 Feb 2009.zip' and place 'Vic Fires 9 Feb 2009.kmz' on the desktop. When you double click it Google Earth should start and focus on Victoria. After a few seconds the 'Photo-like image' will be downloaded from NASA and be placed properly on Google Earth.
Hope all that makes sense.

EDIT: I've included 'Vic Fires HI_Full.zip' which uses the picture from the OP's aticle that shows the burnt areas in 'brick red'. View it just like the other one.
