Daytime Burning Ban: Rainfall not sufficient to ease fire danger Director of Kentucky Division of Forestry Bill Steele asks individuals to refrain from outdoor burning. Seasonal restrictions are in effect. It's illegal to burn 6am-6pm local time - and, though legal, officials say burning at all times is dangerous. Click on headline for complete story By John Mura Commonwealth News Center FRANKFORT, KY (Tue 25 Oct 2016) - The increased danger of forest fires continues despite most areas of the state receiving some much needed rainfall last week. Warm temperatures and winds have already caused dry conditions to return. As we move into November, leaf drop adds a new layer to already dry fuels amplifying fire activity. A warm, sunny day may seem like a good opportunity to clear dead limbs and leaves from your yard, but Kentucky Division of Forestry officials say now is not a good time to do any outdoor burning. The Division asks everyone to wait until conditions change before doing any outdoor burning. During the Fall Forest Fire Season, which began October 1 and lasts until December 15, it is illegal for any person to burn between the daylight hours of 6am-6pm local time. While it is not illegal to burn after 6pm local time, forestry officials say the dry conditions make burning at all times dangerous. "A substantial amount of rainfall over several days is needed to improve the current conditions," says Bill Steele, Director, Kentucky Division of Forestry. "Until then, we're counting on the public to refrain from outdoor burning." If you have questions about burning restrictions or regulations, please visit our WebPages at forestry.ky.gov or call the Kentucky Division of Forestry at 502-564-4496. - John Mura This story was posted on 2016-10-26 04:03:46
