Grove City is not in a designated wildfire hazard zone. Central Ohio does not have WUI (wildland-urban interface) mapping and no defensible space or Chapter 7A ignition-resistant construction requirements apply. Standard Ohio Building Code covers construction.
Unlike California, Colorado, or other high-wildfire-risk states, Ohio has no statutory Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) map and Grove City lies within the flat-to-rolling agricultural plain of Franklin County — wildfire risk is rated low by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Forestry. No Chapter 7A ignition-resistant construction, Class A roof, or defensible space zones are required. Building construction follows the standard Ohio Building Code (commercial) and Ohio Residential Code (RCO), without wildfire amendments. Ohio's primary wildfire exposure is in Appalachian counties (Hocking, Vinton, Perry) during spring fire season; Franklin County records only sporadic brush or grass fires handled by local fire departments. Residents with grass fire concerns should follow OAC 3745-19 open burning rules and maintain 8-inch lawn height per Grove City nuisance code.
No wildfire-specific violations apply in Grove City. Related enforcement occurs under the open burning code (OAC 3745-19) and brush clearance nuisance rules (ORC 731.51).
