Reminder on Open Burning
If you are one of many Concord Township residents who have burned
yard waste in the past, or a new resident to the area wondering
about the rules, the Fire Department urges you to obtain a copy
of the Ohio EPA's pamphlet titled "Before You Light It".
Copies are available by calling the EPA at (614) 728-3778.
The pamphlet defines open burning, what materials may be burned
, where burning is legal, open burning requiring permits from the
EPA (the Fire Department does not issue permits for other than recreational
(cook out) type fires), and penalties for violations.
Please call the Fire Department for additional information. The
Ohio Fire Code mirrors the open burning regulations of the EPA.
We will help you stay out of trouble when it comes to what, how,
and if you may burn.
