In Tennessee, the Department of Agriculture Forestry Division is stressing the importance of obtaining burn permits for outdoor burning until May 15. These permits specifically authorize the burning of woody debris found naturally on the property. It’s crucial to note that burning other types of debris and trash is strictly prohibited. Failure to secure a permit can result in legal consequences, including fines and potential jail time of up to thirty days. To acquire a burn permit, individuals can conveniently visit BurnSafeTN.org.
