As is the case every year a Commonwealth of Kentucky,
Department of Environmental Protection open burning ban is now in effect. From
May 1st to September 30th of each year, the only open burning activities that
are allowed are as follows:

• Fires set for the cooking of food for human consumption;
  
• Fires set for prevention of a fire hazard, including disposal of dangerous
  materials if no safe alternative is available;
  
• Fires set for the purpose of bona fide instruction and training of public
  and industrial employees in the methods of fighting fires;
  
• Fires set for recognized agricultural, silvicultural, range, ecological, and
  wildlife management practices;
  
• Fires set for the purpose of disposing of accidental spills or leaks of
  crude oil, petroleum products or other organic materials, and the disposal of
  absorbent material used in their removal, if no other economically feasible
  means of disposal is available and practical. Permission shall be obtained from
  the cabinet prior to burning; and
  
• Fires set for recreational or ceremonial purposes.
