NO OPEN BURN
A burn ban has been issued and is in effect for the entire state of Ohio. The Ohio revised code 1503.18 prohibits outdoor open burning and prescribed fires in the months of October and November from 6:00 am - 6:00 pm. This ban includes burning of yard waste, trash and debris, even in a proper burn barrel.
Even outside of the time and date restrictions, any person conducting a burn must seek landowner permission, remain with the fire while it's burning and take all reasonable precautions to prevent the fire from escaping.
