The Forestry Division of the Tennessee Department of Agriculture is issuing a reminder to residents regarding outdoor burning regulations. As of October 15, individuals are required to secure burn permits prior to engaging in any outdoor burning activities. This requirement is mandated by state law, which stipulates that permits must be acquired annually from October 15 through May 15.
In addition to obtaining a burn permit, it is essential for residents to verify with their local county and city authorities to determine if any additional permits are necessary. For those looking to familiarize themselves with outdoor burning guidelines or to apply for a burn permit, comprehensive information can be found at the official website: TN.gov/TnWildlandFire.
