updates

1. Trimmed to two functions: all fires YTD and active fires
2. Added github action to scrape
3. Updated README and converted to markdown

I might be wrong, but I think that for the README to fully convert to markdown you need to remove the indented :: style code snippet introductions that ReST uses with the unindented ``` style that markdown uses
