The total burn ban for Oldham County has been lifted.

Judge-Executive David Voegele, in agreement with Oldham County fire chiefs, has lifted the total burn ban effective immediately.

This means that while a ban on most outside burning continues statewide until at least Sept. 30, it is now permissible in Oldham County to resume agricultural and recreational burning, including campfires and outside cooking.
