Burn Permit

The Fire Department monitors atmospheric conditions and determines on a daily basis whether leaf burning in the city limits is permissible. If you see a form displayed on this page, burning is allowed for the day and you may fill out the form to obtain a burn permit. If you do not see a form displayed on this page, burning is not allowed for the day.

For complaints about illegal burning, call 931-455-0936, or if no answer call the officer in charge at 931-434-5097. Please remember, if no one answers the crew on duty is most likely on a call. Please leave a message.
