Due to extremely dry conditions of ground cover, LaRue County Judge/Executive Blake Durrett has issued a burn ban for the unincorporated area of the county.

“As listed, it is no fire for recreational or ceremonial purposes, so those are your backyard fire pits or barbecues,” Durrett said. “No fire set for construction purposes, so you know how people would burn construction debris. No weed abatement, so no controlled burns for weed control. No fire training. No ag purposes. No burning of leaves. We’re not that far into the year where leaves are dropping, but obviously that’s not okay, and then some people burn their trash, so no disposal of rubbish by fire and things of that nature.”

Durrett said he issued the burn ban after hearing from the chiefs of the county’s volunteer fire companies.

The city of Hodgenville has also issued a burn ban. The Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet says LaRue is one of 25 Kentucky counties with burn bans currently in place.
