Extra vigilance urged; Kentucky outdoor burning law in place

Note: This article was updated on 10/1/2024, with corrected information for contacting the Division for Air Quality: 502-564-3999 or burnlaw@ky.gov

From John Mura/Robin Hartman

Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear and Energy and Environment Cabinet Secretary Rebecca Goodman are urging Kentuckians to be alert as the fall wildfire hazard season begins October 1, 2024, bringing outdoor burning restrictions to the state.

"In 2023, Kentucky experienced more than 1,100 wildfires, with 48,000 acres burned." said Gov. Beshear. "Let's work together this wildfire season to be extra cautious and to protect our extraordinary natural resources, our homes and our communities."

The commonwealth's outdoor burning law (KRS149.400) prohibits burning between the hours of 6am and 6pm local time if the fire is within 150 feet of any woodland, brushland or field containing dry grass or other flammable materials. These restrictions are in effect every fall (Oct. 1 - Dec. 15) and spring (Feb. 15 - April 30) to help prevent wildfires.
