State Fire Marshal, John W. Rudd, has ordered a Burning Ban, beginning October 15, 2024, for all outdoor burning, as current conditions throughout the State of Delaware are extremely dry and pose a fire hazard. Effective immediately, the following are prohibited: bonfires, controlled burnings (including burning of leaves and yard waste), agricultural burnings, fires for land clearing, fires for demolition and removal of hazards, and outdoor rubbish fires (whether or not contained).

Our agency welcomes the opportunity to attend public events and promote services that are available to the citizens of Delaware. During the year, our agency is represented at many events throughout the State. From local fire department open houses, to health fairs, to arson prevention presentations; we are always willing to assist our community with any activities that we can.
We maintain two display boards/table top displays. We also provide presentations on behalf of our Juvenile Firesetter Intervention Program, Smoke Detectors, and Canine Accelerant Detection Program.
If you would like for us to attend or present at your event, please complete the following form. This form has been designed to help coordinate invitations and presentations by our staff on behalf of the OSFM. Please provide us with as much information as possible and keep us updated with any changes. After you submit this form, the OSFM will be in touch with you to confirm our availability as promptly as possible.
We do our best to fulfill as many requests as possible and there is no charge for our services, however, based on the availability of our staff, it is possible that we may not be able to support all requests. Any organization, group, or individual can request our attendance. This includes: community groups, business organizations, industry associations, as well as schools of all levels. All requests are coordinated on a first come first serve basis however; priority is given to fire service requests.
