🔥 FIRE WEATHER ALERT THIS WEEKEND 🔥

Elevated fire danger conditions are expected this weekend due to drought, dry fuels, and wind. A small spark can lead to a rapidly spreading wildfire.

Here's how you can help keep our community safe:
✅ Do not burn without a burn permit; we will not issue permits where conditions are unsafe
✅ Avoid outdoor burning
✅ Don't park vehicles on dry grass
✅ Keep grills and fire pits away from structures
✅ Make sure ci******es are fully extinguished

If you see smoke or flames, call 911 immediately. Do not assume someone else has already reported it.

Stay safe out there. 🙏

NOTE: This photo is from a fire earlier this year that is now out.

🔥🌳 It is wildfire season in Tennessee, which means burn permits are required whenever you burn leaves or natural debris, including hurricane debris.

A few things to note:

🔥 Permits are FREE

🔥 Permits can be obtained online at burnsafetn.org

🔥 If you don't have internet access, you can get a permit Monday thru Friday, 8 am to 4:30 pm local time, by calling 877-350-2876

🔥 Some local municipalities have additional burning restrictions and / or alternative burn permit programs, so always check local requirements before burning

🔥 Links to information about burning hurricane debris can be found at burnsafetn.org

We're happy to answer any questions you have!
