Fire law reminder
Wild fire danger is high in the spring and in the fall, the fire danger is high due to the abundance of dry leaves and dead grass.
The Ohio Administrative code 3745.19 regarding Outdoor Burning is included as well. The EPA basics for homeowners say that several materials are never to be burned. This includes food waste, dead animals and any materials that contain rubber, grease, asphalt or items that are made from petroleum.
You are also asked to be mindful of how close you are to a neighboring structure. You must be 1000 feet from an inhabited building. No burning when air pollution alerts are in effect. Fire and smoke cannot obscure visibility on roadways, railways or airfields.
The Washington County Sheriff's Office reminded locals on Ohio's fire laws.
