Questions about burning in Barren County
Is there a burn ban in Barren County today?
Yes. Kentucky Division of Forestry lists Barren County as “Burn ban in effect”. Status checked Oct 13, 12:18 PM EDT.
Can I burn trash or brush in Barren County?
Not while the burn ban is in effect. County burn bans in Kentucky prohibit most outdoor burning; read the county's order for exceptions (for example, approved grills or permitted agricultural burns).
Who issues burn bans in Kentucky?
County judge-executives issue local burn bans (KRS 149.401) and the Division of Forestry lists the ones it hears about, so a new ban can be missing here. During forest fire hazard seasons (February 15 to April 30 and October 1 to December 15) burning within 150 feet of woods or brush is illegal from 6 am to 6 pm everywhere in Kentucky.
Where does this information come from?
From Kentucky Division of Forestry's official county burn-ban map, refreshed every hour on Burn Ban Today, plus Red Flag Warnings from the National Weather Service. Confirm with the Barren County offices or your local fire department before burning.
