The warm, dry, windy months of October and November are upon us, and they bring increased fire risk across Ohio. That’s why Ohio law prohibits all open burning from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. during October and November. The risk of fire spreading is high during those times and volunteer firefighters with daytime jobs aren’t readily available to respond to the higher fire risk.

Rainfall totals across the county were disappointingly low in the month of August. Crops are drying down rapidly in some areas of the county which means harvesting equipment will be seen on the roads. Please remember to be patient on roadways and remember to share the road so everyone can return home safely to their families.

Complete rainfall data for the 2025 growing season can be found at hardin.osu.edu under the Agriculture and Natural Resources program area tab.
