The Tennessee Division of Forestry
TN Certified Burn Manager Course
The Tennessee Division of Forestry, TN Certified Burn Manager Course happens at least twice a year. The next available course to get information about will be held in January.
This course will teach you about the TN Prescribed Fire Act, how to follow the steps to fall under the liability blanket of the TN Prescribed Fire Act, the importance of writing a burn plan, how to write a burn plan, and other pertinent information about conducting a prescribed burn in TN.
This course is the basic level and does not certify you on a national level as a burn boss; more education and training is required than this course provides.
The first day will be virtual and a field day possibly on the second day, however, logistics and details are still to be determined. In 2024, a third additional day has been added as a supplemental to the course. This day is not only for new TN Certified Burn Managers, but also current burn managers who need continued education credits for recertification.
If you are interested in taking the course, please fill out this form and we will email you when we have more information and about registration.

A follow-up email will be sent the last week of April with Registration information for the June 2025 course offering.
