FROM OHIODNR.GOV__The State of Ohio is reminding residents that Ohio Revised Code 1503.18 prohibits most open burning in unincorporated areas in March, April, May, October, and November between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. This code is under the authority of the Ohio Division of Forestry.

Local governments or fire departments may have local burn rules established. It is good practice to check with these local entities prior to conducting open burns.

Individuals may be held liable for damages caused as a result of a fire that they kindle.

Consider disposing of yard waste through alternative methods, such as composting.
