In Manitoba, Canada, north of Lake Winnipeg, several massive fires were burning on July 23, 2007. Thick plumes of smoke spread east from the forest fires. In previous days, smoke from fires degraded the air quality enough that people in communities near Southern Indian Lake (hidden by smoke to the west of Gauer Lake) had to evacuate.
