We are deeply saddened by the passing of Tennessee icon Dolly Parton.

From her roots in East Tennessee to an extraordinary career that reached audiences around the world, Dolly never forgot the place she called home. Her love for Tennessee and its people remained a constant throughout her life.

In a 2021 interview with 𝘛𝘦𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘏𝘰𝘮𝘦 & 𝘍𝘢𝘳𝘮 magazine, Dolly reflected on agriculture and the hardworking families who sustain our communities:

“Men and women in agriculture have always been good examples of a strong work ethic that we all can admire and learn from. We should always support all the hard-working families out there doing what they can to build great lives and great communities.”

Dolly’s remarkable legacy, her love for Tennessee and her appreciation for the people who call it home will not be forgotten.

Q: Do firefighters have to train to jump higher than a fire hydrant?
A: No - because everyone can jump higher than a fire hydrant... fire hydrants can't jump.

Jokes aside, the Tennessee Agricultural Museum had a fantastic visit from Nashville Fire Department’s Station 10. They taught participants essential fire safety skills — from “stop, drop, and roll” to understanding not to hide during a fire, and instead staying near a window or door if they can’t get out.

Participants got to explore the inside of a fire engine and see all the equipment firefighters use. Everyone also went home with a fire‑themed stress‑ball boot and some fun fire‑safety coloring sheets. It was a great day of learning and community engagement!

Seeing smoke at Ellington Agricultural Center this afternoon? There is no cause for alarm!

We are testing out a new foam for suppressing wildfires at to see how well it works.

As part of the test, we will set a few pieces of wood and some wood chips on fire, simulating some of the fuels common in wildfires.

These fuels will be located in a safe area where the fire cannot spread, wildland firefighters will be on hand with engines, and the local fire department will be alerted that we will be burning a small amount of fuel.

In wildfire suppression, specialized foams are used to essentially make water wetter. They reduce water’s surface tension so that it can more effectively soak into and cool fuels.

So today, when you see smoke, just know it is part of a cool science experiment, everything is safe, and it won’t last long!
