Welcome to the Fire Environment page. This page aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the fire environment across Tennessee. Updates will be provided weekly, at a minimum, from October 15 through May 15 to support prescribed burning operations and planning.
Summer of 2025
Green-up has happened. Time to get those summer time burns done.
There are no burn permit requirements until October 15th, however, if you would like to record your prescribed burn you can still access the burn permit website to obtain a permit. This will help TDEC Air Pollution Control monitor air quality, Track RX numbers more than just during "fire season" and have a official record that you conducted your burn according to the TN RX Burning Act.
