Delaware — Delaware’s annual burn ban season starts Thursday, May 1, and will last through Tuesday, Sept. 30. During this period, most forms of open burning will be restricted to reduce the risk of wildfires and safeguard communities throughout the state. State fire officials have outlined some exceptions to the burn ban. Cooking fires, such as those used for grilling or barbecuing, and campfires in designated camping areas are allowed.
However, they remind residents that certain types of burning are prohibited year-round, including the burning of waste, garbage, fallen leaves, grass clippings, and materials from land clearing unless used for agricultural purposes. Fire authorities urge the public to stay informed about local regulations and to avoid unsafe burning practices that could put communities at risk. Residents are encouraged to reach out to their local fire department or visit official state websites for more detailed information on the burn ban and safety guidelines.
