  • OHIO OUTDOOR FIRE LAWS

    1 ---This law prohibits outdoor open burning statewide in unincorporated areas during the months of March, April, May, October, and November between the hours of 6 a.m. and 6 p.m.

    2 ---This ban includes burning of yard waste, trash, and debris, even in a proper burn barrel.

    3 ---During spring, wildfire danger is high before plants have turned green, and in fall, fire danger is high due to abundant dry leaves and dead grass. Warm, windy weather in both seasons also contribute to elevated fire risk. Always be sure to use a proper burn barrel when burning outdoors during legal hours.
