The Kentucky Division of Forestry is asking the public to refrain from outdoor burning.
Warm temperatures and dry conditions have increased the danger of forest fires and as we move into November, officials say the excess foliage adds a new layer to already dry fuels that can amplify fire activity.
During the Fall Forest Fire Season it is illegal for any person to burn between daylight hours of 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
While it is not illegal to burn after 6 in the evening, officials say the dry conditions make buring at all times dangerous.
The fire season began October 1st and lasts until December 15.
