Here’s a reminder for residents of Tennessee: As of last Thursday, burn permits are no longer required in the state.
The Tennessee Division of Forestry requires burn permits every year from October 15 to May 15 during wildfire season. However, permits are not needed in late spring, summer, or early fall because fire risk is lower.
Remember, some local areas may still have burning restrictions from time to time, so check with your local government before lighting a fire.
Fire safety always matters. Stay smart and safe whenever you burn.
