🚫 Burn Ban in Effect Across Delaware 🚫
Starting May 1 through September 30, open burning is prohibited statewide to help protect our air quality during ozone season. Dry conditions and rising temperatures increase the risk of wildfires that can quickly get out of control.
Please do your part to keep our community safe—avoid outdoor burning and follow all state guidelines. Permitted fires must be contained and use approved fuels only.
🔥 If you see smoke or fire, report it immediately.
Let’s work together to protect our community, our environment, and each other
