From Scioto Ema

VERY HIGH TO EXTREME FIRE DANGER TODAY...

A prolonged period without rainfall, winds gusting to 25-30 mph, relative humidity as low as 35%, and unseasonably warm temperatures have increased the threat of wildfires today.

Grasses and leaf litter are very receptive to fire. If fire is introduced, ignition is likely and fire spread will be quick.

Be aware of the potential for grass and brush fires that may quickly spread today. Call 911 if you see unattended fire. Do not burn today.

It's officially spring fire season, meaning that the typical open burn ban from 6 a.m.-6 p.m. for unincorporated areas is in place every day for March, April, and May (https://ohiodnr.gov/discover-and-learn/safety-conservation/about-ODNR/forestry/fire-management-program/open-burn-laws). Make sure you are aware of any other open burning restrictions that might be in place, including Ohio EPA (https://epa.ohio.gov/divisions-and-offices/air-pollution-control/permitting/open-burning) or any local fire department regulations.

On top of the burning restrictions, be sure to never burn on dry and windy days, even during an unrestricted time. Debris burns can escape control quickly and cause a lot of damage. Please be part of the solution and help prevent wildfires!
