FDM NFIRS 5.0 Wizard & Reporter
The FDM NFIRS 5.0 Wizard guides users through the process of filling out forms for
NFIRS based on the incident type selected. With the FDM NFIRS Reporter, you can also
electronically submit NFIRS reports to state reporting agencies.
NFIRS Wizard
The NFIRS Wizard is fully compliant with the
NFIRS 5.0 standard. The Wizard simplifies data entry by only presenting users with
the relevant forms based on the Incident Type being reported on. Data entry is simplified
as data fields are color-coded and the wizard prompts you for additional information as
required by NFIRS rules. NFIRS reports can be annotated with narrative text.
NFRIS forms included in the Wizard are:
- Basic (NFIRS - 1)
- Fire (NFIRS - 2)
- Structure (NFIRS - 3)
- Civilian Fire Casualty (NFIRS - 4)
- Fire Service Casualty (NFIRS - 5
- Hazerdous Materials (NFIRS - 7)
- Wildland Fire (NFIRS - 8)
Plus One Code
The NFIRS Incident module complies with the NFIRS Code Plus One standard, allowing
local definition of incident codes. Incident type codes can be extended by one digit to
allow for additional detail. These extensions are recognized by the electronic submission
tool, the NFIRS Reporter.
NFIRS Reporter
The NFIRS 5.0 Reporter extracts incident reports from your database and automatically
generates a report file in the format required your NFIRS state authority. At runtime,
the Reporter automatically checks reports that are flagged for submission for errors. All
errors are written to an error log that you can use to make corrections. You can also
decide to exclude certain reports from the NFIRS submission, such as incidents with open
investigations.
NFIRS Support FAQ
The US Fire Administration's website has an excellent
NFIRS FAQ to help answer your NFIRS questions. You can also browse their
Support Center page that includes information on what NFIRS is all about, NFIRS uses,
training, handbooks, forms and other support.
