Ban On Burning Lifted In Some Communities

The burning of brush and grass is being allowed in some communities west of Fort Frances.

The Alberton, Chapple, Emo and LaVallee Emergency Service is lifting a ban it put into place at the end of March.

Recent cool, wet weather is helping.

A similar ban for Fort Frances remains in effect but won’t be lifted until the end of October.
