DRESS CODE:

As times have changed so have some of today’s fashions. The Delaware State Fire School, however, is foremost an
educational facility. With that constantly in mind, the dress code is designed to promote a healthy and safe, distraction-
free learning environment.

❑ No flip-flops or open toe shoes
❑ No bare midriffs
❑ Visible body piercings shall be limited to the ear

The dress code policy will be enforced for any DSFS class that is held at a center (including New Castle and Sussex),
including In-service classes held at a center. In-service classes held off-site are not subject to this policy.
