From Oct. 15 through May 15, a FREE burn permit from the Tennessee Department of Agriculture Division of Forestry (TDF) is required to burn yard debris or conduct prescribed fires.

🧑‍💻 Online permits are issued 7 days a week, from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. local time at BurnSafeTN.org.
📞 Permits may also be obtained over the phone by calling 877-350-BURN (2876), Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. local time.
🔥 Permits are valid until midnight on the day they are obtained, so plan to obtain a permit the day you plan to burn.

Why permits matter:
🔥 Tennessee experiences approximately 1,000 wildfires each year during fire season, which is from mid-October to mid-May. This is when fire risk is highest in the state.
‼️ Most fires are caused by human activity, including burning under unsafe conditions.
📣 Burn permits are our way of communicating with you about when and where it is safe enough to burn during fire season.

How do we decide when to temporarily pause issuing permits?
📈 Every day during fire season, TDF's expert fire professionals analyze many fire weather data points, using a tool customized to Tennessee's wildfire fuels.
➡️ Based on that data analysis and on conditions on the ground, a decision is made every morning at the local level about whether it is safe enough to burn that day.
🔥 If fire danger is too high that day, we will temporarily pause issuing permits. Once conditions improve, we will resume issuing permits.

Please pray the family. Travis, Brooklyn and Cohen are family to us here at TCFD. Monteagle isn’t just our neighboring department they are family and over the past few years the bind has grown stronger with training together and working as one on scenes and you wouldn’t be able to tell which person belonged on which department as we work as a team together. To the family we offer our deepest condolences and are always here. We love you all. Blaise left this world way sooner than expected but rest in heaven playing with fire trucks 260 and a half.

TCFD went and supported GCHS Cheerleaders at the bake sale and car wash. We had to take a truck to get washed and of course a donation to support the team was made for the great job they done. Proud to support Grundy and our community anyway we can if we can.

Chief Chris Fiske, Assistant Chief Michael Strang and Captain Jacob Church attended the State Fire Marshal’s VFEAT luncheon yesterday for receiving $64,500 for a new cascade system. With this new system we will be able to refill air bottles in house and neighboring departments can also fill bottles after mutual aid calls or if they just need to fill bottles in general. Grants like these help us get better equipment to better serve the communities and do our job safely. We had the honor of eating lunch and hearing from the commissioner and assistant commissioner of commerce and insurance as well as a few state senators and was a great opportunity to see how respected the fire service is in this state.

We had the Girl Scouts Troop #40428 stop by for a visit Tuesday evening for a tour of the trucks and station. They brought cookies and they really liked spraying water with the booster reel at the end.
