🚫🔥 OPEN BURNING BAN 🔥🚫
In accordance with Ohio Department of Natural Resources regulations, outdoor open burning is prohibited between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. during the months of March, April & May.
This includes:
• Burning yard waste
• Brush piles
• Leaves
• Debris
🌬️ Spring conditions often bring dry vegetation and increased winds, creating a high risk for rapidly spreading fires. These precautions help protect homes, property, and our community.
🔥 Evening burning is still strongly discouraged when conditions are dry or windy. Always check local weather conditions and ensure you are complying with all state and local regulations.
Thank you for helping us keep our community safe.

ORC 1503.18 (C) Excepting fires kindled in a plowed field, garden, or public highway at a distance of not less than two hundred feet from any woodland, brushland, or field containing dry grass or other inflammable material, no person shall kindle or authorize another to kindle a fire in the open air, outside the limits of any municipal corporation or land controlled by any railroad company, for the purpose of burning wood, brush, weeds, grass, or rubbish of any kind between the hours of six a.m. and six p.m. during the months of March, April, May, October, and November in any year. The chief of the division of forestry may adopt rules in accordance with Chapter 119. of the Revised Code to expand the times and places for kindling fires for any affected persons.
