Burn Ban

Licking County and many other counties across Ohio are under a burn ban. What does that mean?

You are not allowed to do the following:

• Any open burning of trash, debris, waste, combustibles, leaf piles or similar vegetation
• Campfires and bonfires
• Throwing down or discarding lit or smoldering material, such as matches or cigarettes
• Using or discharging any fireworks
• Live-fire training events
• Flame effect(s) based displays or exhibitions, including sky lanterns and cold spark machines
• Using spark- or heat-producing devices for recreational purposes

Those who ignore the burn ban could cause a fire that they may be unable to control. Resulting in damage to other people's properties. Which could then lead to a steep fine or jail time.
