Outdoor burning rules in Huber Heights, OH — also called the burn ban, open burning, or fire restriction ordinance — set when you can burn yard waste, debris, or run a recreational fire.
Ohio EPA rule OAC 3745-19-03 governs open burning statewide. Burning trash, leaves, and yard waste is prohibited in restricted areas, while small campfires and cooking or ceremonial fires with clean firewood are allowed under size limits.
Open burning in Montgomery County is controlled by the Ohio EPA, not a county ordinance. In restricted areas (which include most of Dayton's populated townships and cities), OAC 3745-19-03 prohibits open burning except for listed exceptions. Small bonfires and campfires for cooking, pleasure, or ceremony are allowed without notification if fueled with clean seasoned firewood and kept to a fuel area no more than three feet in diameter and two feet high. Larger ceremonial fires require prior notification to Ohio EPA. Waste disposal by fire is never permitted. Local fire departments enforce alongside Ohio EPA.
Illegal open burning can draw Ohio EPA notices of violation and civil penalties, plus local fire-code citations. Fires that cause damage may bring additional liability.
