The City of Oak Ridge remains under a burn ban, and there are fire restrictions in Oliver Springs.
Oak Ridge Fire Chief Travis Solomon issued a burn ban on November 5.
“Due to the dry conditions in our region, no burn permits will be issued until further notice,” the City of Oak Ridge said. “Outdoor burning without a permit is banned by city ordinance.”

The Oliver Springs Fire Department said the town is still under fire restrictions.
