Rutherford County authorities told WGNS that the fire was a controlled burn. The problem however, the fire contained items in the burn pile that are not permissible to burn.

Rutherford County Fire department officials extinguished the blaze and advised the homeowner of outdoor burning regulations.

No one was injured.
