The Commonwealth\u2019s 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Burning Law (KRS149.400) prohibits burning before 6 p.m. if the fire is in, or within 150 feet of, woodland, brushland or fields containing dry grass or other flammable materials. \u201cThese restrictions are in effect every Fall (October 1 \u2013 December 15) and Spring (February 15 \u2013 April 30) Wildfire Hazard Season to help prevent wildfires under normal conditions,\u201d said James Wright, Director of the Kentucky Division of Forestry. \u201cBy adhering to the law and burning after 6 p.m., fires are less likely to escape. Over the last several weeks, some areas of the state have received some precipitation while others have received little if any.\u201d The Commonwealth\u2019s Burning Law Fall Wildfire Hazard Season restrictions are in effect through December 15 whether or not a county has a burn ban or, if it does, if it lifts it. Officials with the Kentucky Division of Forestry (KDF) remind everyone to be careful with outdoor fire any time of the year, but especially during the wildfire seasons when the risk of a fire escaping is greatest.\u00a0 If a fire does escape, immediately contact the nearest Division of Forestry field office or local fire department. In September, KDF responded to more than 104 wildfire fires, when normally there are none this time of year.\u00a0 Some of the recent fires have been controlled by local fire departments and are not reflected in the division\u2019s September statistic. People are asked to call their local fire department or their County Judge-Executive\u2019s office if they have questions regarding local burn bans.\u00a0 Residents should call the Division of Air Quality at 1-888-BURN-LAW to learn about other specific regulations before burning anything."}
