National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS)
The National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) is a voluntary reporting standard that fire
departments use to uniformly report on the full range of their activities, from fire, to emergency
medical services to severe weather and natural disasters. NFIRS is the world’s largest, national,
annual database of fire incident information.

Emergency Medical Service Responses (EMS)
Emergency Medical Service responses include any emergency response created as a result of a 911
call for help that is coded as medical in nature. In some cases, the response includes a fire engine
with an AMR ambulance. In others it is a fire engine only. One example of a fire engine only response
would be for a lift assist where someone has fallen, believes they are uninjured, only requiring help to
get up.
