Wildfire activity across Tennessee remains quiet despite ongoing drought
Wildfire activity across Tennessee is quiet today with no significant fires burning.
Conditions and Outlook
No Red Flag Warnings or Fire Weather Watches are in effect across Tennessee, with calm winds keeping the risk of rapid spread low. However, prolonged dry conditions and severe drought in Middle and West Tennessee leave cured vegetation and forest litter receptive to accidental ignitions over the next several days.
Burn Bans and Land Management
No statewide burn ban is in effect, but Tennessee's fall wildfire season requires residents to secure a free burn permit from BurnSafeTN.org before conducting any debris or broadcast burning.
What Residents Should Do
- Obtain a free burn permit at BurnSafeTN.org before burning yard debris.
- Never leave outdoor fires unattended and keep suppression tools and water nearby.
- Clear dry leaves and cured woody debris away from homes and outbuildings.
