Montgomery County, Ohio is not in a mapped wildfire hazard zone. Ohio has no wildland-urban-interface designation or defensible-space code, so there are no county wildfire-zone building or clearance requirements.
Wildfire-zone regulation is a feature of fire-prone western and southern states, not Ohio. Montgomery County (the Dayton metro) is a humid, largely urban and agricultural county with no state wildfire hazard mapping or wildland-urban-interface code, and neither the county nor Ohio imposes defensible-space or fire-resistant construction requirements. The relevant fire concerns here are open burning (Ohio EPA OAC 3745-19-03), grass and brush fires during dry spells, and structure-fire safety through the state building and fire codes. During drought, the Ohio Division of Forestry may issue outdoor-burning advisories, but these are advisories, not zoning designations. No wildfire-zone permit or clearance applies to your property.
No wildfire-zone penalties exist because no such zone applies. General open-burning and fire-code violations are enforced by Ohio EPA and local fire departments as described in related topics.
