Fort Erie residents will be able to close out the summer with bonfires starting next week.

Several other Niagara municipalities in the region like Niagara Falls, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Thorold, Lincoln, Grimsby, Port Colborne, and Welland have all terminated their burn bans in recent days.
Fort Erie residents and visitors can only burn recreational fires between 4 and 11 p.m.
Burning of construction materials, brush, garbage, and yard waste is prohibited at all times.
