It's illegal to burn yard waste or to have a campfire in St. Catharines.

Acting Fire Chief Jeff McCormick is putting a reminder out to everyone, now that the warmer weather is right around the corner.

He says the smoke could become a nuisance and this by-law is for the safety and well-being of local residents.

If you live in an agricultural area, you can apply for an open air burn permit.
