Open Air Burning

Bonfires are Not Allowed
Open air burning is a violation of the Ontario Fire Code and is enforced in the City of Thorold.
Section 2.4.4.4 of the Ontario Fire Code states: "Open air burning shall not take place unless it has been approved, or unless such burning consists of a small, confined fire, that is used to cook food on a grill, barbecue or spit, commensurate with the type and quantity of food being cooked and supervised at all times."
Once the cooking is complete, the fire must be extinguished.
