I have downloaded the MODIS Monthly Fire Location Product from the University of Maryland ftp Server. All the files are in HDF format.
How do you make these into tiff's?

you can right click on the extract subdataset tool and select "batch". Then you can open all files (right click on input, browse option) and launch the extraction for them (clicking "validate" will automatically create valid output names).
As for your Python script, it looks OK but I would use a more robust code for the output file name (os.path.join as mentioned by @Michael Miles Stimson and split to avoid counting the character with the risk of something like "..tif"
os.path.join(outPath, hdf.split(".")[1] + ".tif"))

Both the HDF-EOS To GeoTIFF Conversion Tool (HEG) and the MODIS Reprojection Tool (MRT) can do that. You can download them from the USGS website: https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/tools/data_manipulation
