    Smoke from multiple large wildfires in Quebec, Canada, is drifting far to the south in this modis.gsfc.nasa.gov Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) image from July 6, 2002. Active fire detections are indicated with red dots. On Sunday, July 7, the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Center reported 7 out-of-control fires burning south of James Bay (the southern extension of Hudson Bay, seen at upper left in the image). More lightning is expected on Monday, further increasing the fire danger.
