KDF: Spring Wildland Fire Season is Here By John Mura/Robin Hartman Frankfort, KY - The Spring Wildfire Season, which begins today, February 15, and lasts until April 30, is in effect in every Kentucky county. The law prohibits any person to burn between the daylight hours of 6am and 6pm within 150 feet of any woodland or brushland. The Kentucky Division of Forestry (KDF) urges residents across the state to exercise caution when burning debris during this season. The KDF has responded to 93 wildland fires since January 1, 2022, and nearly 40 percent have been attributed to debris burning. It is important to remain vigilant about wildfires. In the spring, people conduct yard work that often includes burning leaves and yard debris. The KDF encourages residents considering debris burning to exercise caution and consider all factors to help maximize the safety of people, property and the forest. "Any time a citizen decides to burn brush, they should make that decision by using all the information available to them. Monitoring weather patterns, paying special attention to humidity levels, wind speeds, and being alert to red flag warnings issued by the National Weather Service. Informed decisions about outdoor burning increases the safety of our firefighters and our communities," said Division of Forestry Director Brandon Howard. For those who choose to burn debris, the KDF urges them to:
If you are burning agriculture residue and forestland litter, a fire line should be plowed around the area to be burned. Large fields should be separated into small plots for burning one at a time. Before beginning any burning in a wooded area, contact your KDF county forest ranger who will weigh all factors, explain them, and offer advice. Remember to check local ordinances, state air quality, and state waste management regulations before conducting any outdoor burning. The Division for Air Quality has many outdoor burning restrictions.
