Ten thousand people have been evacuated from their homes in parts of Canada over the past week, as wildfires blaze across the country. This modis.gsfc.nasa.gov Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) image from the terra.nasa.gov/ Terra satellite was captured on August 3, 2003, and shows numerous actively burning fires marked with red dots. The town of Barriere in British Columbia is one of the devastated communities, with an estimated 70 houses burned already. According to news reports, fires are completely surrounding the town, which is located near the large cluster of red dots just south of the center of this image.
The high-resolution image provided above is 500 meters per pixel. The MODIS Rapid Response System provides this image at MODIS' maximum spatial resolution of rapidfire.sci.gsfc.n asa.gov/gallery/?200 3215-0803/Canada.A20 03215.1855.250m.jpg 250 meters.
