Today, the Blount County Fire Protection District pauses to remember and honor the brave men and women of our United States Armed Forces who made the ultimate sacrifice.

As first responders, we know what it means to serve and protect a community-but today, our focus is solely on those who gave absolutely everything to protect our nation. The freedoms we enjoy every single day, including the freedom to serve our neighbors here in Blount County, were paid for by their extraordinary courage.

To the fallen, and to the Gold Star families who carry their legacy: we remember you, we honor you, and we will never forget.

Have a safe and reflective Memorial Day. 🇺🇸

🇺🇸 Honoring Our Defenders: Happy Armed Forces Day! 🇺🇸

Today, the Blount County Fire Protection District joins the nation in celebrating Armed Forces Day. Celebrated on the third Saturday of May, this day was created in 1949 by Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson to unify the individual branch celebrations into a single day of collective appreciation for all who serve in uniform.

As first responders, we share a deep bond with our military brothers and sisters-including many members of our own department who have worn both the uniform of our country and the turnout gear of the BCFD.

To the members of the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, and Coast Guard: thank you for your unwavering dedication, sacrifices, and service to our great nation.

🚨 UPDATE: State Burn Permit Requirements End Today! 🚨
Today, May 15th, is the LAST DAY you need a Tennessee state burn permit for debris burning! Starting tomorrow, permits are no longer required until October 15th. 🌳🍂

Did you know? Tennessee's fire season runs exactly opposite to the Western U.S.! Ours typically lasts from October 15th through May 15th.

Why the difference? It's all about the trees! Our fire season ends in late spring as our beautiful hardwood canopy becomes full, shading the forest floor and keeping moisture in. Out West, different weather patterns, vegetation types, and melting snowpacks lead to summer fire seasons. 🌲☀️

Even though permit season is over, we still urge everyone to use caution when burning.

Happy Earth Day from the Blount County Fire Protection District! 🌎🚒

We love the Earth. Honestly, it's where we keep all our fire trucks, our gear, and most importantly, our coffee. So, we'd really appreciate it if you didn't set it on fire today (or any day, really).

Let's keep Blount County green, gorgeous, and un-scorched. Here's how you can help us help Mother Nature:

* Mind the Wind: Wind and fire go together like oil and water-except much more expensive and dangerous. If it's breezy, save the yard debris burn for another day.

* Don't Walk Away: A fire is the worst kind of clingy friend. If you leave it alone, it will absolutely ruin your day. Never leave a burn pile or campfire unattended.

* Drown It out: When you're done with a campfire, drown it, stir it, and drown it again. If it's too hot to touch, it's too hot to leave.

Treat the Earth right today. We promise we'd rather be admiring the scenery than putting it out. Stay safe out there!

One last thing-don't let a surprise bill ruin your day. Make sure your membership is active! Being a subscriber ensures that if we have to respond to an emergency at your home, you aren't hit with out-of-pocket response fees.

We had a great time hosting the Leadership Blount Class of 2026 at the Blount County Fire Protection District!

It was an honor to spend the day with such a dedicated group of community leaders, sharing what we do and giving them a hands-on look at the work our firefighters face every day. We hope the experience gave valuable insight into the challenges and rewards of serving our community.

Thank you all for taking the time to visit, learn, and engage with us. We appreciate your commitment to making Blount County a stronger and safer place!
