LA VERGNE, Tenn. (WKRN) — No burning is to take place until further notice in La Vergne, according to city officials.
The burn ban, issued by the fire marshal, is due to overly dry conditions and a heightened need for community protection, according to the city.
The ban covers any kind of open burning, including leaves or brush, construction debris, fields, campfires, and burn barrels. It will remain in effect until conditions improve and there is no longer an elevated risk of out-of-control burning.
When the ban has been lifted, the city will issue another public notice, they said.
