While a countywide burn ban remains in place due to recent
dry conditions, the month of October has brought with it Fall Wildfire Hazard
Season as well.
Once the countywide 24-hour burn ban is no longer in effect,
the 6:00 am to 6:00 pm burning law will take precedence, prohibiting burning
before 6:00 pm if the fire is in or within 150 feet of, woodland, brush land,
of fields containing dry grass or other flammable materials.
These restrictions are in effect every year from the
beginning of October through December 15th, according to the
Kentucky Division of Forestry.
