Kentucky Wildfire Hazard Season active through April 30

Kentucky Wildfire Hazard Season is underway.

According to the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet Division of Forestry, this means burning restrictions are active throughout the Commonwealth.

Officials say the season lasts from Feb. 15 through April 30 and Oct. 1 through Dec. 15.

During Kentucky’s spring and fall wildfire hazard seasons, it is illegal to burn between the hours of 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. in or within 150 feet of any woodland or brushland, except when the ground is covered with snow.

Officials say all fires should be attended until they are extinguished.
