Every year during Fire Safety Month, we look forward to welcoming students from Sullivan Elementary to the fire station. They get a chance to learn about fire safety, practice important safety skills, explore the station, and, of course, do a little training as our future firefighters!

For many of our members, these visits are especially meaningful because we remember being the kids who once came to the fire station ourselves.

It’s truly one of our favorite times of the year, and we’re proud to help teach the next generation how to stay safe.

Thank you to Sullivan Elementary for spending the day with us! Sullivan County Department of Education

NASHVILLE — Beginning Oct. 15, Tennesseans must obtain a free burn permit before burning leaves or natural debris or conducting prescribed burns. As wildfire season begins, the Tennessee Department of Agriculture Division of Forestry (TDF) encourages residents and visitors to observe National Fire Prevention Week by practicing fire prevention and exercising extra caution when burning outdoors. Tennessee averages about 1,000 wildfires each year, burning approximately 18,000 acres.

“More than 90% of wildfires in Tennessee are caused by human activities, including escaped debris burns,” State Forester Heather Slayton said. “That means individual actions matter – choosing to avoid burning on high fire danger days, getting a burn permit, taking steps to burn safely and staying with your fire until it is completely out can make a meaningful difference in preventing destructive wildfires in our state.”

TDF is Tennessee’s lead wildfire agency and is responsible by law for administering the burn permit system. Burn permits help TDF communicate when and where conditions are safe for burning and are issued only when fire danger is at an acceptable level. When hazardous conditions — such as high winds, very low humidity or extremely dry vegetation and debris — increase wildfire risk, TDF temporarily pauses permit issuance until conditions improve.

Siren in the distance? Lights in your rearview mirror?

Knowing how to safely yield helps emergency responders get where they need to go. If an emergency vehicle is approaching, stay alert, safely move out of its path and follow your state's laws.

🚨 When approaching a stopped emergency vehicle with flashing lights, move into a non-adjacent lane or slow down if you can't safely change lanes. Move Over laws are in all 50 states!

9/11 changed our country and the fire service in ways that will never be forgotten. On this 25th anniversary, we honor the victims, the first responders, and the strength of a nation that came together in the face of tragedy.

Debris in your lane? 🪨 Spot a sudden road hazard? ⚠️

In an emergency, braking and steering smoothly can help you maintain control. If your vehicle has ABS, press and hold the brake pedal firmly — don't pump the brakes — and use controlled steering if you need to avoid a hazard.

Here's what to know. ⬇️
