"MONTREAL (AP) - Forest fires fanned by strong winds raged in northern
Quebec on Saturday, sending smoke across the province and the northeastern
United States.
Haze from the fires stretched from Michigan to Massachusetts, with thick
patches covering parts of New York state, U.S. meteorologists said.
At least 50 fires were burning in a remote area near James Bay, about 500
miles north of Montreal, said Quebec fire officials and the U.S. National
Weather Service

The smoke is moving at 12,000 feet above sea level and should not cause
health problems, weather service meteorologist Steve McLaughlin said. The
wind shifted Friday, pushing the smoke south.

The fires have eaten up at least 148,200 acres of forest, and on Friday
forced the evacuation of the village of Nemaska, home to about 500 Cree
Indians, the fire officials said."
