The Sevierville Fire Department has issued a temporary ban on open burning in the City. The ban is effective immediately.
According to SFD Fire Chief Matt Henderson, the current dry weather and low humidity has created a condition wherein open burning is too hazardous.
“The ban on opening burning will be in effect until significant rainfall is received,” Chief Henderson said. The public will be notified when the ban is lifted, Chief Henderson added. At this time, cooking fires (such as outdoor grills) are allowed, but should be conducted with extreme caution.
Citizens are also reminded that they are always required to obtain a permit prior to beginning any open burning, and it is always illegal to discharge fireworks in the City of Sevierville.

Construction on the planned extension of the West Prong Greenway is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, September 3. The $250,000.00 project includes a retaining wall, observation areas, landscaping, lighting and paving. A TDEC grant has been received for $200,000.00 towards the project.
Although the extension only measures approximately seven-hundred feet in length, it poses a challenge due to soil conditions and placement of the retaining wall.
When completed, the extension will connect the existing West Prong Greenway on the west side of the river with the Parkway. The project is expected to be completed by March 1, 2020, weather and other conditions permitting.
