Limits of this information
burnbanradar reads public burn-ban orders as published by Ohio Revised Code §1503.18 and reports them unchanged. Cities and municipalities within Clinton county may impose stricter rules than the county order. Water districts and state forestry rules may add further restrictions. When an order is ambiguous or the source cannot be reached, we show Unconfirmed instead of guessing a status. The county's own posted order governs.
