Error in inciweb_wildfires.get_incidents()

Hi,
I am getting this error on running :
data = inciweb_wildfires.get_incidents()

Traceback (most recent call last):
line 27, in get_usa_incidents
    data = inciweb_wildfires.get_incidents()
  File "python3.7/site-packages/inciweb_wildfires/__init__.py", line 14, in get_incidents
    content = r.json()["markers"]
  File "/python3.7/site-packages/requests/models.py", line 975, in json
    raise RequestsJSONDecodeError(e.msg, e.doc, e.pos)
requests.exceptions.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

Add scraper to store data

No features returned - probably an upstream issue

I stumbled upon this tool when searching for an inciweb API; after installing and then trying the CLI I got:

{"features": [], "type": "FeatureCollection"}

I checked the link https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/feeds/maps/placemarks.kml I found in the code. Visiting directly, the inciweb site is throwing an error:

The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later.
Error: Call to a member function getName() on bool in Drupal\kml\Encoder\KmlEncoder->xmlToArray() (line 231 of modules/contrib/kml/src/Encoder/KmlEncoder.php).

I recognize this is not really your responsibility but thought you might want to know.

Also -- FWIW -- the website would like to be known as https://inciweb.wildfire.gov/ going forward!
