⚠️⚠️⚠️ Outdoor Burn Alert ⚠️⚠️⚠️

Our department wanted to advise all the citizens of Jackson County to use extreme caution when burning any brush or fallen trees outdoors. We understand with the weather warming up and everyone starts to clean up the area outside that burning any extra vegetation that has fallen is the easiest option. We are still in the time of year that requires a burn permit through the TN Division of Forestry which can be obtained at the link below.

Due to the weather and wind conditions for the day you are burning, the State may not be issuing burn permits for then so always obtain your permit prior to starting any type of outside fire on your property.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact us via messenger or at our department phone number listed on our Facebook home page.
