Ohio State Fire Marshal lifts burn ban

As of Friday October 11, 2024 Ohio State Fire Marshal Kevin Reardon has issued an order lifting a Ban on Open Burning that was first issued on Sept. 6. Rain earlier this month and cooler temperatures have significantly reduced wildfire fuel loads. Much of the state has seen grass return to green and heavier wildland fuels like larger sticks and logs have had the opportunity to soak up moisture, substantially lessening the risk of uncontrolled wildfires. 

Reminder: ODNR's normal annual burn ban is still in place through November and prohibits most open burning between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. in unincorporated areas in Ohio.
