Active Wildfires in Tennessee
No active wildfires are currently being tracked in Tennessee.About Tennessee Wildfire Season
Tennessee's fire season runs in two windows, spring from mid February to mid May before green up and fall from mid October to mid December after leaf drop, mirroring the pattern found across neighboring North Carolina. Deciduous timber and Appalachian ridge terrain, along with heavy ground litter in the Great Smoky Mountains, define the state's fuel. Appalachian fires behave differently than Western fires. Rather than crowning through treetops and calming overnight, they tend to cling to the ground and burn continuously around the clock, producing a persistent smoke cloud rather than the dramatic flame front people often picture. Arson plays an unusually large role in this region as well, a distinct pattern from the accidental debris burning that dominates fire causes further south.Tennessee Fire Map Today
