Due to elevated fire weather conditions, residents are urged to refrain from all outdoor burning until further notice. Please utilize alternative disposal methods until weather conditions improve and the risk of wildfire decreases.
Important Permit Information
Permit Season: By Tennessee state law, burn permits are mandatory until May 15th.
Weather Restrictions: Permits may be withheld or suspended daily based on local wind and humidity levels.
Verification: Before you burn, consult the Tennessee Division of Forestry at BurnSafeTN.org to check daily safety status or to apply for a permit.
Prohibited Materials
It is important to remember that a burn permit does not allow for the disposal of man-made materials. In Tennessee, it is illegal to burn the following at any time:
Household garbage and trash
Furniture and mattresses
Most construction and demolition debris
Please dispose of these items properly through local waste management or convenience centers. Thank you for doing your part to keep our community—and our first responders—safe.
