  In this paper we prove local existence of a Ricci de Turck flow starting at a
space with incomplete edge singularities and flowing for a short time within a
class of incomplete edge manifolds. We derive regularity properties for the
corresponding family of Riemannian metrics and discuss boundedness of the Ricci
curvature along the flow. For Riemannian metrics that are sufficiently close to
a flat incomplete edge metric, we prove long time existence of the Ricci de
Turck flow. Under certain conditions, our results yield existence of Ricci flow
on spaces with incomplete edge singularities. The proof works by a careful
analysis of the Lichnerowicz Laplacian and the Ricci de Turck flow equation.
