Kentucky's spring forest fire hazard season begins Wednesday and runs through April 30. During forest fire seasons, it is illegal to burn anything between the hours of 6 a.m., and 6 p.m., within 150 feet of any woodland or brushland. As per state law, the Kentucky Division of Forestry is responsible for enforcing forest fire hazard seasons. Violations can be punishable by fines, jail time or both.
Additionally, inside the City of Marion it is not legal to burn trash of any kind, and burning of foliage should be reported to city officials before beginning.
