Best Times to Visit Niagara Falls The best time to visit Niagara Falls is June to August. Summer is peak season, and with good reason: Average highs rest in the low 80s. Mists and breezes from the waterfalls can make the area feel cooler.
It is not uncommon for a fire to occur when transporting hay, like the fire July 18 in Helena. Such fires are most likely started by overheated exhaust pipes or a thoughtless passerby throwing a cigarette out a car window. However, hay fires on farms are much more likely to be caused by spontaneous combustion. Such fires damage or destroy buildings and equipment in addition to the hay consumed. In 1998, the Montana Fire Marshall's office recorded 148 agricultural product fires that resulted in one injury and over $797,000 of damage.
An open fire is a fire in which material is burned in an open, outdoor area or in a receptacle without a stack or chimney. Materials such as tires and roofing material that produce dense smoke when burned are prohibited from burning in an open fire.
