Last night, members of Berlin VFD completed a multi-day foundational vehicle extrication training program consisting of both classroom instruction and hands-on practical training. Throughout the course, our firefighters strengthened their knowledge and skills in vehicle stabilization, patient access, tool operations, and safe extrication techniques.

We are thankful for Instructor Stuart with Marshall County EMS for his guidance and for sharing knowledge gained from decades of experience as a firefighter, law enforcement officer, AEMT, and Marine.

We are proud of the hard work and dedication shown by all involved as we continue striving to provide the highest level of service and care to our community.

Mark your calendars 🗓️ Burn permits are not required in Tennessee from May 16 through October 14.

Every year, the Tennessee Division of Forestry requires free burn permits from October 15 through May 15. Why those dates? That window is Tennessee's wildfire season, when drier conditions, fallen leaves and lower humidity make it easier for a small backyard fire to escape and turn into something much bigger.

Permits help us track outdoor burning during the riskiest months and keep our forests and neighborhoods safer, while also communicating with the public (that's you!) about when and where it is safe enough to burn at any given time.

Once we move into late spring, summer and early fall, greener vegetation and higher humidity reduce the fire risk... which is why permits aren't required during that stretch.

A few things to keep in mind before you strike a match:

🔥 Some cities and counties have their own burning rules year-round. Always check with your local government before lighting it up.
🔥 Never leave a fire unattended and always have water or tools nearby to control it.
🔥 Watch the wind. Even on a "safe" day, gusts can carry embers farther than you'd think.

Burn permit season may be ending, but fire safety doesn't take a break. Stay smart and stay safe out there, Tennessee! 🌲

On Friday evening (4/24/26) at 6:15, crews responded to a brush fire that started as a controlled burn but was left unattended and spread into a tree line. The fire was brought under control promptly.

Shortly after clearing that scene, units responded to a motor vehicle accident involving a flipped vehicle. Both occupants escaped uninjured.
