Due to the very dry conditions, and at the request of our local fire chiefs, Ohio County Judge Executive David Johnston, has issued a county-wide burn ban for Ohio County effective 9-7-26, until further notice.
Please do not burn until the ban has been lifted.

Thank you for helping keep our community safe!

The annual spring forestry fire season and burn ban has technically ended as of yesterday. But please keep in mind that we are still under drought conditions and are short several inches of rainfall for the year. Please refrain from burning on windy days or near brush lands. If you must open burn, have a water source and/or proper equipment nearby to keep the fire contained. Remember to call and notify dispatch at (270) 298-4411 if you plan on having a controlled burn.
