The Fort Erie Fire Department with a reminder for residents heading into the weekend.
They want residents to remember that they can not open air burn yard waste and leaves.
Officials say open fires are permitted but only if you use clean dry wood and are not producing unnecessary smoke.
Fires are also only allowed between 4 p.m. and 11 p.m.
