Due to recent rainfall, combined with higher levels of humidity the burn ban which was implemented earlier this week by Sevier County, the Cities of Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Sevierville, and the Town of Pittman Center will be lifted at 8 a.m. on Friday, March 7. The lifting of the burn ban will allow recreational burning, including fire pits, campfires and charcoal grills.

Due to current dry conditions, exceptionally low relative humidity and a very high fire danger, Sevier County and the cities of Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Town of Pittman Center, and Sevierville have issued a burn ban until further notice. These conditions have created circumstances where open burning is too hazardous.
