Welland Fire and Emergency Services Urges Caution With Open-Air Fires

Residents of Welland are being reminded to be cautious with open-air fires.

Citizens are being asked to always ensure flames are contained within a metal, masonry or ceramic closure device without openings. 

You're also advised not to burn on smoggy days, and to only burn in backyards. 

Fires need to be controlled in such a way that flames and hot embers don't pose a risk of fire to nearby combustible materials. 

Rural properties can secure burn permits by contacting Fire Prevention.
