And they all laughed when I suggested installing the giant fans at the border.

Dozens of Canadian Fires Send Smoke Into U.S.

July 07, 2002 22:28:30 (ET)

MONTREAL, July 7 (Reuters) - Some 44 forest fires sparked by lightning strikes burned in northern Quebec on Sunday while winds pushed smoke over the U.S. border as far south as Virginia, officials said.

More than 500 firefighters, some from Manitoba and Newfoundland, were battling the blazes, said Eric Santerre, a spokesman for the Forest Service.

With no rain expected before Thursday, more than a dozen blazes burned out of control, said Santerre. One problem was that water dropped from 18 aircraft being used to battle the blazes was evaporating before it hit the ground, he said.

The fires burned 110,000 acres (44,000 hectares) in a week, with some blazes devouring 165 feet (50 metres) a minute, the Forest Service said.
