Tennessee wildfire activity remains quiet with low fire potential statewide
Tennessee remains quiet with no uncontained large wildfires burning across the state. Recent scattered precipitation has kept significant fire potential low across all regions.
Conditions and Outlook
Drier air and gusty north winds are bringing marginal fire weather conditions and lower afternoon humidity across Middle Tennessee. No Red Flag Warnings or fire weather watches are in effect, and fire potential is forecast to remain low through midweek.
Burn Bans and Land Management
Tennessee's official burn permit season begins October 15, requiring free permits from the Tennessee Division of Forestry for open-air burning within 500 feet of forest or woodland areas.
What Residents Should Do

- Prepare to obtain required burn permits from the Division of Forestry starting October 15.
