Other burn tips from the Tennessee Division of Forestry include:
- Notify your local fire department and neighbors to let them know your plans to burn
- Do NOT burn on windy days
- Stay abreast of changing weather conditions
- Establish wide control lines down to bare mineral soil at least five feet wide around burn piles
- Keep fire containment equipment on hand during the fire (e.g. rake, shovel, water)
- Stay with the fire until it is entirely out. It’s the law!
