Active Wildfires in Delaware
No active wildfires are currently being tracked in Delaware.About Delaware Wildfire Season
Delaware handles only a handful of wildfires most years, typically around five, making it one of the lowest risk states in the country. Its main window runs from mid April to early May, with a smaller fall rise as leaves drop. Around 380,000 acres of forest sit within roughly a million acres of undeveloped land, concentrated in the rural western reaches of Kent and Sussex counties downstate. A recent winter drought produced fire behavior state foresters had never documented before in Delaware, including crown fire torching through trees thirty to fifty feet tall, a pattern the state's normally moist forest floor simply does not support. Officials described it as a new phenomenon for the region rather than a return to any familiar pattern.Delaware Fire Map Today
