Kentucky’s fall forest fire hazard season starts today and runs through Dec. 15. During this time, it is illegal to burn anything within 150 feet of any woodland or brushland between the daylight hours of 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. Anyone cited for violating the law can face fines and/or jail time.
As a reminder, it is illegal to burn garbage or any other materials, except natural plant matter, such as brush and woody debris at any time.
