Floyd County Judge-Executive Robbie Williams has issued an executive order lifting the countywide emergency ban on outdoor burning, effective Thursday, November 5. The decision follows changes in current and forecast weather conditions. However, Kentucky’s fall wildfire hazard season remains in effect through December 15, meaning certain burning restrictions still apply. Under state regulations, outdoor burning is prohibited between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. in or within 150 feet of woodlands or brushlands, unless the ground is covered with snow. Residents are encouraged to exercise caution and follow all applicable burning regulations.
