(ONN) – Ohio’s fall burning restrictions went into effect on Wednesday in an effort to reduce the risk of wildfires in the Buckeye State.

Drought-like conditions combined with windy weather make the state susceptible to wildfires.

The Ohio Emergency Management Agency says Ohio has an average of 800 wildfires each year that burn thousands of acres and potentially puts homes and businesses at risk.

Burning trash and debris adds to the problem.

Some items can never be burned.

Open burning is banned from 6 am to 6 pm through November 30th.
