Kentucky's fall outdoor burning restrictions now in effect

Kentuckians are reminded that the fall wildfire hazard season began on Sunday with outdoor burning restrictions across the state.

Avoid burning debris during fire hazard seasons and during dry, windy conditions. Outdoor burning is illegal between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. in or within 150 feet of any woodland, brushland or fields containing dry grass or other flammable materials. 

The restrictions are in effect every fall (Oct. 1 – Dec. 15) and spring (Feb. 15 – April 30) to help prevent wildfires.
