Burn permit season to start early in Tn due to dry conditions!

UPDATE
***Burn Permit Season to Start Early in Tennessee***

The summer heat and dry weather just won’t quit. With the current conditions in mind, the Division of Forestry will launch the burn permit system a few weeks early.

A permit will be required for outdoor burning starting Monday, Sept. 23.

Typically, burn permits are required statewide Oct. 15-May 15. Many cities and municipalities require permits year round.

Although Tennessee has not seen an increase in wildland fires, safety is our top priority. The early launch is a precautionary measure to help protect our state and citizens from any wildfire threat. The Division of Forestry will continue to monitor the weather situation and will not issue permits on days when burning carries a greater risk.

At approx. 3:00pm today the Eastside, Woodbury, and Mooretown Fire Departments were dispatched to Hill Creek Rd for a clothes dryer on fire inside the house. Engine 7301 arrived on scene to find light smoke coming from inside residence. After brief investigation it was determined the fire was contained behind the dryer. Eastside, Woodbury, and Mooretown firefighters were able to quickly extinguish all hotspots and ventilate the residence of the smoke. It was great teamwork by our city and county Fire Departments and minimal damage to the residence was successful. There were no reported injuries by any of the occupants at the residence!
