In an effort to mitigate the risk of wildland fires, residents of Tennessee are being urged to secure a burn permit from the Tennessee Department of Agriculture Forestry Division until May 15 for any open burning activities not covered by local restrictions. These permits, which are essential for fire safety, can be easily acquired at no cost by visiting www.BurnSafeTN.org or utilizing the MyTN mobile app. Online permits are accessible every day of the week, between 8 a.m. and 11 p.m. For those with limited internet connectivity, permits can be obtained by dialing 877-350-BURN (2876). The hotline is staffed by foresters ready to assist callers from Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., excluding holidays.
