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).

Existing Day Care Facility Inspections



Our Day Care Inspector performs annual inspections Statewide on all Group Daycare Homes, Day Care Centers, and other facilities utilized for the supervision of children.

These inspections are conducted to determine compliance with the Delaware State Fire Prevention Regulations, and once approved, the Day Care Inspector provides the approval paperwork to the Office of Child Care Licensing to meet the obligation to approve providers to operate Day Cares in accordance with the guidelines of DELACARE requirements.

Although the requirements of the State Fire Prevention Regulations are enforced statewide, plan reviews and inspection services for Day Care occupancies within the city limits of Wilmington, Newark, Dover, and New Castle are provided by the City Fire Marshal of those jurisdictions.
