There are currently 67 active fires with more than 17,493 acres burned.

Officials listed two major fires burning in East Tennessee, one on Neddy Mountain in Cocke County which involved 1,007 acres and was 85% contained, another on White Oak Circle in Morgan county involving 1,888 acres and 100% contained.

Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam issued a proclamation declaring a regional ban on burning in 51 counties in response to the ongoing drought and destructive wildfires throughout Middle and East
Tennessee. It applies to open-air burning near woodlands and includes a prohibition of campfires, and burning of brush, vegetation, and construction debris. Generally, the burn ban does NOT apply to cooking grills and other similar lighted devices that are well established in a confined, protected area away from woodlands. However, as a precaution, the disposal of hot grill ashes can be a fire hazard. Grill ashes should be allowed to completely cool or watered down before disposal in all cases.
