It is your responsibility for what you burn
Your trash, your waste, it may take a turn
Think of the water, think of the air
The particles will impact the nature we share
An open burn?
Uncontained?
Watch the fire, watch the flames!
It could spread and get out of control
Who do you call?
The fire depot!
Get a permit
Its your responsibility
We want to protect
That water quality
Use your resources that you can find online
So you don’t find yourself in a bind
Safety is key
We cant stress that enough
Those flames can be dangerous
But we’re Tennessee tough
