NFIRS VERSION 5.0 DESIGN DOCUMENTATION

Section 1

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Introduction
The objective of this manual is to provide local and state re agencies with the specications necessary to develop version 5.0 of the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS). To meet this objective, three major sections are included in this document. Overview of the NFIRS 5.0 System Data Dictionary, Edits and Transfer File Specications System Implementation Guide One critical success factor in establishing an all-incident NFIRS is a complete system specication that is accepted as the national standard for re incident reporting. This document serves as both a national standard and a guide for implementing NFIRS 5.0 at the local and state levels. NFIRS 5.0 is designed to be a modular, all-incident reporting system. The system was designed by the United States Fire Administration, a part of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. How NFIRS Works NFIRS is jointly managed by the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) and the National Fire Information Council (NFIC). NFIC is a users group comprised of volunteers who donate their time to maintain the existing system and to research and implement changes to improve it. The members of NFIC are representatives from state agencies and large metropolitan areas that are responsible for incident data collection and analysis. As federal budgets have been reduced, the role of NFIC has expanded. Due to the extraordinary commitment of the members of this council, as well as the ongoing support of USFA, NFIRS is able to maintain its high level of performance. As critical a role as the members of NFIC play, the heart of the system is dispersed across the country, in the 14,000 re departments that participate in NFIRS. After responding to an incident, re department personnel ll out the appropriate NFIRS modules. These describe the nature of the call, the actions reghters took in response to the call, and the result. The latter includes the number of civilian or reghter casualties and an estimate of property loss. While specic modules lled out by a local re department may be state-specic, they contain a core of information common to every states reporting system. The uniformity of denitions used in coding these elds makes aggregation of national data possible.
NFIRS VERSION 5.0 DESIGN DOCUMENTATION 1

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Local agencies forward the completed NFIRS modules, which are lled out either manually or via computer, to the state agency responsible for NFIRS data. The state agency combines the information with data from other re departments into a statewide database and then electronically submits the data to the National Fire Data Center (NFDC) at the U.S. Fire Administration. The NFDC can then compare and contrast statistics from states and large metropolitan departments to develop national public education campaigns, make recommendations for national codes and standards, guide allocation of federal funds, ascertain consumer product failures, identify the focus for research efforts, and support federal legislation. The annual NFIRS data are used as the basis for the U.S. Fire Administrations publication Fire in the United States, which is the single most comprehensive reference on the nature and scope of the re problem in the U.S. At the national level, data combined from participating states is also used by information partners, including: U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) International Association of Fireghters (IAFF) National Association of State Fire Marshals (NASFM) National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) National Highway Trafc Safety Administration (NHTSA) National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC) The Benefits of NFIRS to Firefighters The new system is specically designed to be more reghter friendly. Two additional modules, the Apparatus and Personnel Modules, have been added to assist re departments in managing apparatus, personnel, and resources. Every re department is responsible for managing its operations in such a way that reghters can do the most effective job of re control and re prevention. Effective performance requires careful planning, which can only take place if accurate information about res and other incidents are available. Patterns that emerge from the analysis of incident data can help departments focus on current problems, predict future problems in their communities, and measure their programs successes. The same principle is also applicable at the state and national level. NFIRS provides a mechanism for analyzing incident data at each level to help meet re protection management and planning needs. In addition, NFIRS information is used by labor organizations on a variety of matters, such as workloads and reghter injuries.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Coding Background Incident data collection is not new. Many cities and states have used data systems for yearssome doing their analyses by hand, some using computer systems. In 1963, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) formed a technical committee to devise a uniform system of re reporting to encourage re departments to use a common set of denitions. A dictionary of re terminology and associated numerical codes was developed. This dictionary is known as NFPA 901, Standard Classications for Incident Reporting and Fire Protection. As the re service gained experience with this re data language, improvements were made to the system. The current set of codes used in NFIRS 5.0 represents the merging of the ideas from NFPA 901 and the many suggested improvements from the users of the NFIRS 4.1 coding system. NFIRS Background In 1972, the Presidents Commission on Fire Prevention and Control issued a document entitled, America Burning. This document was the rst in-depth discussion of this countrys re problem. The outgrowth of America Burning was the National Fire Prevention and Control Act, Public Law 93-498, which established the National Fire Prevention and Control Administration. One of the results of the Public Law 93-498 mandate to collect national data on res was the establishment of the National Fire Incident Reporting System. In 1976, six states piloted what was to become the National Fire Incident Reporting System, or NFIRS. The U.S. Fire Administration developed NFIRS as a means of assessing the nature and scope of the re problem in the U.S. NFIRS Today The NFIRS system rst came on line in 1976, and since then, it has grown in both participation and use. At the time this handbook was being prepared, 42 states and over 14,000 of this nations re departments were participating in NFIRS. This makes NFIRS the largest collector of re-related incident data in the world. NFIRS contributes over 900,000 re incidents each year to the National Fire Database. Some states and re departments are just beginning to participate in NFIRS, others have large databases containing several years of data. NFIRS data is being used at all levels of government: local, state, and national. At the local level, incident and casualty module information is being used for setting priorities and targeting resources. The data now being collected is particularly useful for designing re prevention/education programs and EMS-related activities specically suited to the real emergency problems the local community is currently facing.
NFIRS VERSION 5.0 DESIGN DOCUMENTATION 3

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

On the state level, NFIRS is being used in many different capacities. One valuable way that it has aided the states is through work with the legislature. NFIRS has been used to justify state budgets and has helped in the passage of important bills on reworks and arson. As in the local level, the data collected is particularly useful for designing re prevention and education programs. Nationally, NFIRS has been used by various private industry organizations, including national associations for home appliance product manufacturers, the hotel and motel industry, insurance companies, attorneys and many others. Many other federal agencies (aside from FEMA and the USFA) use NFIRS data, such as the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the National Highway Trafc Safety Administration, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The Consumer Product Safety Commission has found this system very useful in nding products that could be a hazard to consumers. With each year, the quality of the available data is improving and new and better ways to use it are devised. What is NFIC? As the number of NFIRS states and major metropolitan areas increased from six initial states to 42 states and 34 major metropolitan areas, it became apparent that some organization was needed to give these NFIRS participants a forum to exchange ideas and discuss common problems. The National Association of NFIRS States (NANS) was established in 1979 to provide this opportunity. Through continued change and alignment of state and metro participation in the overall operation of the NFIRS System, the importance of NANS increased. In 1981, the name of the organization was changed to the National Fire Information Council, or NFIC. Each state participating in NFIRS has one representative in NFIC, as does each major metropolitan area that serves 500,000 or more people. NFIC is governed by a board of 15 directors, three from each of four geographical regions and three from metro areas. Members of the board are elected at an annual conference. The board acts as a liaison between USFA and NFIRS participants for major policy decisions concerning NFIRS operations or support. History of NFIRS Participation Because NFIRS is a voluntary system, not all states or re departments within states participate. In 1977, one of the early years of the system, ve states regularly reported data to the National Fire Data Center, and 19 others had data systems in some stage of development. Since then participation has increased to 42 states, and over 14,000 re departments report to NFIRS. It is estimated that 44 percent of all res to which re departments respond are captured in NFIRS, making NFIRS an extremely large sample of all res that occur each year.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Because states have the exibility to adapt their state reporting systems to their needs, and since reporting by localities is voluntary, the design of a states data collection system can vary from state to state. However, NFIRS was designed so that data from state systems can be converted to a single format that is used at the national level to aggregate and store NFIRS data. The existing NFIRS employs techniques of data entry, validation, transmittal and analysis that represented the state-of-the-art at the time of its original design in the late 1970s. Advances in computer technology have now far eclipsed the current NFIRS. Survey feedback from participating re departments, states and vendors has resulted in valuable suggestions to improve the system, many of which cannot easily be implemented within the current system due to the vintage of its architecture.

Section 2

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The Data-based Decision-making Process
Fire personnel accurately recording the circumstances of all incidents, using a reliable and consistent coding methodology, is the rst step in the data reporting process and a key for developing proles that affect a departments decisions. Incident data can be used by re departments to document their experience, support all types of management decisions, and identify, prepare and justify budget requests. Local agencies then can send their incident data to the state, where the information is combined with data from other re departments into a statewide database. By combining data at the state level, trends in re problems can be detected that are often too infrequent to be seen at the local level and a state re prole developed. Trend information can be used to target re safety and prevention programs, as well as assist in identifying the safety level of products and practices. For these reasons, re incident reporting is mandatory in many states. State incident data is sent to the National Fire Data Center (NFDC) at the United States Fire Administration for further analysis. The NFDC can compare and contrast statistics from states and large metropolitan departments to develop national public education programs, make recommendations for national codes and standards, guide allocation of federal funds, identify consumer product failures, identify the focus for research efforts, and support federal legislation, such as the Hotel/Motel Fire Safety Act (Pub. L. 101-391 - Sept. 25, 1990). At the national level, data combined from participating states can be used by the information partners. These organizations use national-level re data to establish policy, allocate funds, and set standards to affect the re problem. Decision-making based on incident patterns identies common areas for prevention and high-risk products, and geographic areas so partners can take steps in response. The purpose at all levels in the data reporting system is to provide timely and reliable information that supports the decision-making process, whether it is a re captain identifying target hazards and properly deploying resources based on incident information, or the CPSC banning unsafe products like ammable sleepwear for children. Consistent response data supports local decision making in administration and operations.

State-level data points policymakers to problems that need a broadly-based response.

National level data can be used by information partners to address community risk reduction issues.

Addressing issues nationally can help local emergency responders acquire resources to address highrisk issues.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The All-Incident Reporting System The USFA, as well as many states, is mandated by law to collect information on res, and rely on the nations re service to meet that requirement through the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS). The NFIRS (Version 4.1) cannot adequately meet todays re service information needs because it was designed to collect only re information, which represents a fraction of the tasks performed by the re service. The new NFIRS will address the re services need for a system that accounts for the full range of re department incidents. NFIRS 5.0 is based on 20 years of experience in data management among current NFIRS users, and ideas from national fire service organizations. NFIRS program managers representing 42 states and 34 metro re departments have learned many lessons about re reporting during the past 20 years. With the input of state Fire Marshals, Metro Fire Chiefs, local Fire Departments, and customers such as the IAFC, IAFF, NFPA, CPSC, and NHTSA, they developed NFIRS 5.0, guided by the following specic design objectives.

System Design Objectives


NFIRS 5.0 records information about all responses, not just fires. Create an All-Incident Reporting System. To keep pace with the rapidly changing activities of the re service, NFIRS 5.0 must be designed as an all-incident system including, but not limited to: Fire, EMS,
NFIRS VERSION 5.0 DESIGN DOCUMENTATION

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

HazMat, Wildland and Arson incidents. Inclusion of new incident types must be supported by the NFIRS 5.0 Standard. Develop a set of reporting codes that can accurately, reliably and easily describe any incident. All data should be readily collectible, reportable and usable. Promote uniformity of incident reporting by establishing the NFIRS 5.0 coding methodology as the accepted national standard, with the consensus of the USFA, NFIC, NFPA, IAFC, IAFF, NASFM and other information partners. Make the system hardware platform independent. The NFIRS 5.0 Design Specications must support the development of a data collection system on any hardware platform to ensure its universal acceptance and the capability to integrate with existing systems, where needed. Make the system application software/database independent. The NFIRS 5.0 Design Specications must support the development of a data collection system using industry standard software that is nonproprietary to the specication. This will help to ensure universal acceptance of the NFIRS 5.0 Standard and allow for its integration with existing systems. Map the historical data from the old system to the new system where feasible. Preserve the ability for a state to collect Version 4 or 4.1 incident reports without maintaining a separate database. NFIRS 5.0 is broadly supported by national organizations.

NFIRS 5.0 is flexible and adaptable, working with a variety of hardware and software systems, including previous editions of NFIRS.

Benefits
The new system is modular in design and only uses the modules necessary to describe the incidents. Data is collected for all incident types in one basic module. More detailed information can be collected with other modules to further prole res, structure res, civilian casualties, re ghter casualties, hazardous materials, wildland res, arson, apparatus, personnel, and EMS incidents as necessary. The modular design makes the system easier to use because only the data required to prole the extent of the incident is captured. Accuracy and reliability have been improved by modifying the coding system. Ease of Use Simplies look-ups by alphabetizing coding lists with multiple choices for the same code. Merges the codes ending in 9 and 0. Version 4.1 required a distinction between the codes ending in 9, not otherwise classied, and the codes ending in 0, insufcient information to classify further. The proper distinction between these two codes is often not observable in the eld.
NFIRS VERSION 5.0 DESIGN DOCUMENTATION

A modular design increases the system flexibility, and decreases data collection.

Data coding has been revised to reduce confusing classifications.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Abbreviated reporting for most incidents will reduce data collection and classification times.

Eliminates compound codes. Some of the previous codes have contained embedded multiple questions. NFIRS 5.0 splits these elements, since they are often confusing to the reporter and result in ambiguous or erroneous answers. Although this may increase the number of elds, the choices will be clearer among alternatives and the number of codes are decreased. For example, Equipment Involved in Ignition in Version 4.1 is a long, complex list of equipment that includes factors on power source and use. Version 5.0 creates just three categories (Equipment, Equipment Portability, and Equipment Power Source) to make coding easier, more accurate, and specic. Provides for abbreviated reporting of self-contained, non-loss res by using a basic incident form that can be completed with as little as three look-ups. This may represent the majority of all re incidents in many jurisdictions. Abbreviates paths through the system for nuisance res where there have been no losses or casualties. This will eliminate the amount of information that needs to be entered into the system. Documents small spills of common hazardous materials on the basic form. More detailed information can be provided on the optional hazardous materials module if a serious release of hazardous materials occurs.

NFIRS 5.0 works with current technology and anticipates future equipment and software developments.

Compatibility Compatible with current electronic technology. Version 5.0 is designed for electronic media technology. The design specication in Section 3 contains specic data libraries, programming specications, and data ow charts. Includes a mapping strategy back to Version 4.1 to provide for statistical analysis of historical data. Designed to support current and anticipated technologies: clientserver, object-oriented database; and Internet WEB server technology. Allows for the inclusion of optional state or local data storage and retrieval. This data is for use at the local or state level only. Recognizes that there may be a need for additional data elements to meet the local situation. Comprehensiveness Collects behavioral information on multiple levels, e.g., children playing with re, age range, what they used to set the re, and if they were alone at the time of the incident. Formats the address to allow computerized queries and street-based address matching for Geographic Information System (GIS) purposes.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Breaks re losses into property and contents to better dene structure losses. Pre-incident value is also now captured as an optional data element. Captures specic property information about multiple on-site materials and their use. This will allow identication of non-intended or illegal uses of property, such as residential drug houses or laboratories. Notes information on the number of acres burned for all res. Specic and detailed information about wildland or large open res is captured for those res only. Represents missing (not-reported) data as blanks system wide. Missing data will no longer be lumped in with undetermined default code values. Reliability Proles re prevention and code issues that affected the re. Captures multiple factors contributing to the causes of the re for the rst time. This allows identication of juvenile re setters, gang involvement in res, alcohol and cigarette interaction, as well as drugs and youth involvement by age categories. Expands on equipment involved in starting res. Detailed tracking of specic equipment involved in re ignitions is possible. Highlights factors that affect reground suppression. Burglar bars, high-rack storage, balloon construction and unprotected vertical openings are some examples of this information. Usefulness Provides better information on the impact of re protection features. Transmits certication of applications with certication numbers to the state. Includes carbon monoxide incidents. Notes one-time information for special studies purposes. Groups re service resources for apparatus and personnel by use at the incident. Specic, detailed information about the use of re service personnel and apparatus will be collected in a standard way for the rst time in optional modules. This will permit stafng studies on several levels of use. Outlines detailed information on the impact of res on buildings. Information on the buildings size, number of stories and status is now available. Specic information on re origin, damage patterns, ame spread and materials contributing to ame spread is captured as well.
NFIRS VERSION 5.0 DESIGN DOCUMENTATION

NFIRS 5.0 offers more precise information classification.

NFIRS 5.0 data fields can capture information beyond simple incident descriptions.

Administrative information is routinely gathered and classified.

Data fields profile building and systems information that can be used to develop prevention strategies.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Expands information on detectors and automatic suppression systems. Information on the systems presence, range, power supply, effectiveness, operation, and reason for failure is included. Extends information on casualties to provide a better understanding of the relationship of the casualty to factors contributing to injury, as well as the nature and cause of injuries.

System Module Overview


Version 5.0 uses a modular format to increase the accuracy and applicability of data collection for all incident types. The overall number of data elds has been increased. However, because 5.0 takes advantage of selective eld entries based on incident type, the number of elds used to dene an incident has decreased compared to Version 4.1. Version 5.0 has eleven modules that are described below. Most incidents can be profiled using a single set of data fields. Basic Module (NFIRS-1) The Basic Module is used for every incident. This may be the only module necessary for certain incident types such as conned res, small vegetation res, outside rubbish res, explosions, and other incidents classied as other re types and non-res. This feature satises the request for short form re reporting. FIGURE 2-2. Basic Module

TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION
System Architecture
The NFIRS 5.0 system is implemented as a distributed client-server system using state-of-the-art technologies. The system architecture has been specically designed to provide exibility for the implementation of the NFIRS 5.0 system. At the core of the NFIRS 5.0 system is a national database server and server software that resides on the FEMA WAN. Incident data stored in the NFIRS 5.0 system is organized by state and identied as a valid incident through the tools provided by the USFA. States are required to release valid incidents that are available for general use. Some states may prefer to store all their incident data on a local database. In this case they have the option to upload only the valid incidents to the National database server and release those valid incidents that are available for general use. Depending on how a state chooses to implement the NFIRS 5.0 system, the components of the system required and the options available for those components will vary. The main differentiating factors between the scenarios surround where the data is stored and where incident data entry takes place. For discussion of the options available to the state, See System Implementation Guidelines on page 333. System Note: On January 1, 2009, NFIRS ceased collection of NFIRS legacy version 4.1 incidents. Data in the 4.1 format collected after the NFIRS 4.1 sunset date are no longer converted and imported into the NFIRS database. Figure 3-1 on page 26 depicts some of the inbound incident collection connectivity options available to states and local users.

System Modules
The new system is modular in design and only requires the modules necessary to describe a particular incident. Data is collected on all incidents in a basic module with additional modules employed to further prole res, structure res, civilian re casualties, re service casualties, EMS incidents, hazardous material incidents, res, apparatus, personnel deployment and arson res. The following is a brief description of each module used in the NFIRS Version 5.0. The Basic Module (NFIRS-1) is used to describe every incident (or emergency call) to which your re department responds. The Basic Module should be lled out for every incident to which the department responds. A sample of the Basic form is shown in Figure 3-2 on page 30. The Fire Module (NFIRS-2) is used to describe each re incident to which your re department responds and must be used in conjunction with the Basic Module (NFIRS-1). For wildland re incidents, the Wildland Fire Module (NFIRS-8) can be used instead of the Fire Module if that option is selected for use by your state or local reporting system administrator. A sample of the Fire form is shown in Figure 3-4 on page 32. The Structure Fire Module (NFIRS-3) is used to describe each structure re to which your re department responds. This module must be used in conjunction with the Basic Module (NFIRS-1) and the Fire Module (NFIRS-2). When reporting using the paper forms, NFIRS-3 is generally printed on the back of the NFIRS-2 Fire form. A sample of the Structure Fire form is shown in Figure 3-5 on page 33. The Civilian Fire Casualty Module (NFIRS-4) is used to report injuries or deaths to civilians or other emergency personnel (such as police ofcers or non-re department EMS personnel) that occur in conjunction with a re incident. The Civilian Fire Casualty Module must be used in conjunction with the Basic Module, the Fire Module, and if applicable the Structure Fire Module. NFIRS-4 is specically designed for reporting injuries and fatalities caused by, or related to, a re. To report non-re related injuries to civilians the EMS Module (NFIRS-6) can be used. A sample of the Civilian Fire Casualty form is shown in Figure 3-6 on page 34. The Fire Service Casualty Module (NFIRS-5) is used to report injuries or the deaths to reghters. The module can also be used to report the exposure of a re ghter to chemicals or biological agents at an incident where that exposure does not result in any symptoms at that time but where that exposure or accumulated exposures could lead to an illness at a later date. This module must be used in conjunction with the Basic Module and may be used with any of the other modules. A sample of the Fire Service Casualty form is shown in Figure 3-7 on page 35, and Figure 3-8 on page 36.
NFIRS VERSION 5.0 DESIGN DOCUMENTATION 27

TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION

The EMS Module (NFIRS-6) is an optional module that can be used by those re departments that provide emergency medical services to their community. It should be used only when the EMS Module option is selected by your state or local reporting system administrator. The module is used to report all medical incidents where the re department provided the primary patient care. This includes incidents where there were civilian re-related injuries and a Civilian Fire Casualty Module was completed, and where there were re ghter injuries and a Fire Service Casualty Module was completed. Note This is not a patient care record, but should be used in conjunction with the local requirements for patient care. This module can be used in conjunction with the Basic Module (NFIRS-1). A sample of the EMS form is shown in Figure 3-9 on page 37. The Hazardous Materials Module (NFIRS-7) is an optional module used to report major spills or releases involving hazardous materials. It should be used only when the Hazardous Materials Module option is selected by your state or local reporting system administrator. This module is designed to be used in conjunction with the Basic Module (NFIRS-1) and, if appropriate, the Fire Module (NFIRS-2) or other modules to provide detailed information about incidents involving hazardous materials. A sample of the Hazardous Materials form is shown in Figure 3-10 on page 38. The Wildland Fire Module (NFIRS-8) is an optional module used to report incidents that involve wildland or vegetation res. It should be used only when the Wildland Fire Module option is selected by your state or local reporting system administrator. This module must be used in conjunction with the Basic Module (NFIRS-1) and replaces the Fire Module (NFIRS-2) for wildland re incidents. A sample of the Wildland Fire form is shown in Figure 3-11 on page 39. The Apparatus Module (NFIRS-9) and Personnel Module (NFIRS-10) are optional department use modules used to report detailed information on the apparatus and personnel that respond to the incident. They should be used only when the Apparatus or the Personnel Module option is selected by your state or local reporting system administrator. The Apparatus Module (NFIRS-9) is used to report data specic to each piece of apparatus that responds to the incident. It includes data that can be used to calculate response time and time out of service. The Personnel Module (NFIRS-10) is used to report the same data on a piece of apparatus but also provides for tracking the personnel associated with that apparatus. These optional modules can be used in conjunction with the Basic Module (NFIRS-1) for any type of incident. A sample of the Apparatus form is shown in Figure 3-12 on page 40, and the Personnel form appears in Figure 3-13 on page 41. The Arson Module (NFIRS-11) is an optional module used to report additional information on res that have been coded by the department as

intentionally set. It should be used only when the Arson Module option is selected by your state or local reporting system administrator. This module collects general information on an arson incident, which is then sent to the National Fire Data Center. A sample of the Arson form is shown in Figure 3-14 on page 42, and Figure 3-15 on page 43. The Supplemental Module (NFIRS-1S) is an optional module used to report detailed information on additional persons or entities involved in the incident. It adds exibility to any incident report by expanding the data capability. A sample of the Supplemental form is shown in Figure 3-16 on page 44, and Figure 3-17 on page 45.

Record Key Exposure Number

RELATIONAL EDIT
This must be unique. The key is the following elements: State, FDID, Alarm Date, Incident Number, Exposure Number. This number must be ascending, incrementally 1, beginning with 000 (NOTE: A main re incident with an exposure of 000 MUST exist in the system before exposures (> 000) are allowed). If Incident Type is not in the 100 series (res), Exposure Number cannot be greater than zero. If Transaction Type = blank (add) then no duplicate record should be found. If Transaction Type = 1 (change), then existing record must be retrieved and displayed for modication. If Transaction Type = 2 (delete) then duplicate should be found and only the data elements in the key should be provided. If Transaction Type = 3 (no monthly activity), then Alarm Date (YYYYMM), incident number (0), exposure number (0) are all that is required. If Alternate Wildland Location box is not selected, Location on Basic form is required. If intersection is checked, then Street/Highway Name and Cross Street Name must be complete. If Incident Type not = 100 series, then the Fire Form and the Structure Fire Form are not allowed. If Incident Type not = 100 series and Incident Type not = 561, 631, 632, then F Block (Actions Taken) elds 1, 2, or 3 cannot be an 11 or 13, 14, 15, 16, or 17. If Incident Type = 111-112, then Structure Fire form is required. If Incident Type = 113-118 then completion of the re form is optional, not required and Block H2, Detector Alerted Occupants, is required. If Incident Type = 120 series, then the Structure Fire form is required. If Incident Type = 150 series, then the Fire Form is optional, not required. If used, the EMS module is only allowed for Incident Types: 100243, 311, 320-323, 351-381, 400-431, 451, 900. Incident Type 54x valid Actions Taken all of 20s & > 50s or Actions Taken = 00.

If aid is given (codes 3 or 4), then only the information on the Basic module through block G1 (Resources) must be completed by the department giving aid. The remainder of the Basic module and any other modules associated with the incident may be optionally completed but is not required. The information not captured by the department giving aid is captured by the department that receives aid for that incident. Alarm Date/Time cannot be later than Arrival Date/Time. Alarm Date/Time cannot be later than Date/Time Controlled. Alarm Date/Time cannot be later than Last Unit Cleared Date/ Time. Arrival Date/Time cannot be later than Date/Time Controlled. Arrival Date/Time cannot be later than Last Unit Cleared Date/ Time. Control Date/Time cannot be later than Last Unit Cleared Date/ Time. Last Unit Cleared Date/Time cannot be less than Alarm Date/ Time. Last Unit Cleared Date/Time must be entered if the Wildland module is not completed. Cannot be duplicate, except for blanks. Action Taken 1 must be entered before Action Taken 2. Action Taken 2 must be entered before Action Taken 3. If Pre-Incident Property value entered, then it must be >= Property Losses. If Pre-Incident Contents value entered, then it must be >= Contents Losses. If Incident Type > 100 series, then Civilian Casualty Form is not available. If Property Use = 400 series and Incident Type = 100 series, except 113 thru 118, then Property Details, Block B1 on the Fire form (# living units) must be entered. If Property Use = 500 - 800 series and Incident Type = 100 series, except 113 thru 118, then On Site Materials, Block C on the Fire form must be entered (none is valid entry) else the eld is optional. If the Incident Type is 140-143 or 160,170-173, then either the Fire module or the Wildland module is required. One of the two must be completed. If the Incident Type is 561,631 or 632, the Fire Module is not allowed but the Wildland Module may be optionally completed in addition to the Basic Module for these incidents. This module must be present if the Incident Type is 100 series, except for Incident Types 113-118 and Incident types 150-155. When the Incident type is 140-143, 160, 170-173, 561, 631-632 then the Wildland Module may be used instead of the Fire Module.

If Incident Type not = 13X AND (Heat Source = 1X OR Factors Contributing to Ignition elds #1 or #2 equal to 36, 37, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58) THEN Equipment Involved in Ignition is required and cannot be NNN. This rule should only be enforced for incidents with an alarm date on or after 1/1/2012. Reserved for future use If the Incident Type is not in the 800 series and the Last Unit Cleared Date/Time occurs 24 hours or more after the Alarm Date/Time then the system shall generate a warning message. This rule should take effect only after 1/1/2012. Warning Message: "Incident duration of one day or more for a non severe weather or natural disaster incident. Please check incident times. If accurate, no further action required" If Incident Type = 1xx (re) and either or both of the elds Contents Loss and Property Loss is/are not entered then the system shall generate the following warning message: Estimated dollar losses are required for all res. If there was no loss or no preincident value, check or mark the appropriate None boxes. If loss cannot be estimated, do not enter a loss value and no further action is required.

RULE
The Basic Module is always required for Incident Types: 100-911 If Incident Type = 571 (stand by) and if Aid Given or Received = codes 3, 4 , then only the information on the Basic module through Block D (Aid Given or Received) need be completed by the department giving aid. The rest of the Basic Module and the other modules as applicable are optional. If Incident Type = any other Incident Type than 571 and if Aid Given or Received = codes 3 or 4, and the THEIR FDID information in Block D is entered, then only the information on the Basic module through block G1 (Resources) and the Fire Fighter Casualty Module (when there is a casualty which, including additionally Block H1 on Basic) must be completed by the department giving aid. The remainder of the Basic module and any other modules associated with the incident may be optionally completed but are not required. The information not captured by the department giving aid will be captured by the department that receives aid for that incident. Aid Giving Departments and Aid Receiving Departments always track their own Fire Service casualties separately. If a Fire Service Casualty occurs in a department giving aid, they should also complete the H1 Casualties block on the Basic Module in addition to the FS Casualty Module. The department receiving aid is responsible for tracking and entering all of the civilian casualty information for the incident. If aid is given (codes 3, 4), then only the information on the Basic module through block G1 (Resources) must be completed by the department giving aid unless a re service casualty also occurs, then the giving department must also complete the Fire Service Casualty Module. The remainder of the Basic module and any other modules associated with the incident may be optionally completed but are not required. The information not captured by the department giving aid is captured by the department that receives aid for that incident. The Fire Module is always required for the following Incident Types (with the exception of aid given incidents): 100, 110-112, 120-138, 161-164 (160 is not included here because that code can be a wildland re) The Fire Module for is never (ever) allowed for: 200-911 The Fire Module is optional for the following Incident Types: 113-118, 150-155 If the Wildland Module is not used in place of the Fire Module, then the Fire Module must be completed for Incident Types: 140-143, 160, 170-173 The Structure Fire Module is always required for Incident Types: 111-112 (Only the Structure Type element is required on the Structure Module for code 112, the rest of the module is optional) 120-123 The Structure re Module is never allowed for Incident Types: 130-173 The Structure re Module is optional for Incident Types: 113-118 If the Fire Module is not used in place of the Wildland Module, then the Wildland Fire Module must be completed for Incident Types: 140-143, 160, 170-173 The Wildland Module is optional for Incident Types: 561, 631, 632 The Wildland Module is never allowed for Incident Types: 100-138, 150-155, 161-164, 200-555, 571-621, 641-911 If used, the Arson Module is only allowed for Incident Types: 100-173 (Fire Cause eld code on the Fire Module must also be 1 Intentional or 2 Unintentional or 5 Cause under investigation or U Undetermined after investigation. If the Wildland Module is used instead, the Wildland Fire Cause must be 7 Intentional.) If used, the EMS module is only allowed for Incident Types: 100-243, 311, 320-323, 351-381, 400-431, 451, 900 If used, the HazMat module is only allowed for Incident Types: 100-243, 320-324, 371, 400-431, 451, 900

System Field Security Levels


The following table lists the default security level for each eld in the NFIRS 5.0 system. The security level is the highest level at which the data in the eld may be released from the national system. Please note that these are the default settings and may be congured differently at the option of individual states or re departments. The purpose of these settings is to prevent data from being released publicly at the federal level when to do so would conict with state or local jurisdiction privacy laws. Sensitive data (marked as anything other than Federal in the table below) transmitted by vendor software and collected by the USFA NFIRS 5.0 software will be handled in the following manner once it is in the that system: Data elds that are marked Fire Department in the table are collected and stored in the state database but may not be released publicly without permission of the originating re department. Data elds that are marked State in the table are collected and stored in the Federal Database but may not be released publicly without permission of the originating state. These data security rules are in effect once the data passes into the USFA software system via transaction le. TABLE 3-4. System Field Security Levels (Sheet 1 of 19)

TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION - INCIDENT FLAT FILE TRANSFER FORMAT

Incident Flat File Transfer Format


Overview This section explains some of the conventions used in documenting the NFIRS 5.0 Incident Transaction File Format. Transaction Record Hierarchy The incident transaction records have been designed under the assumption that if a particular piece of information has not been collected as part of an incident, an empty record should not be transmitted. To accomplish this, a transaction hierarchy has been created so a parent transaction can be sent with only those applicable child transactions. Example: If aid was not given or received during an incident, the Aid Given or Received Transaction (1020) doesnt need to be transmitted. However, it must be mentioned, that if a transaction record is empty at the time of transmittal, but child transactions to that record are not, an empty parent transaction is required. Example: If the Mobile Property section of the Fire Form has been lled out, but the remainder of the Fire Form has not been entered, an empty Fire Form Transaction (1100) would need to be sent along with the Fire Mobile Property Transaction (1120). Note: The Fire Equipment Involved Transaction (1130) and File Attached Transaction (1110) would not need to be included, since they are child transactions and are empty. All child transactions need to be included in the transaction le, after their corresponding parent transaction (although how many records after the parent transaction is irrelevant, as long as it is prior to the next incident). Table 3-5, Transaction Hierarchy Table, on page 132 depicts the Incident Transaction Hierarchy and the associated Parent/Child relationships.

TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION - INCIDENT FLAT FILE TRANSFER FORMAT

Delimiters Fields within the transaction record can be delimited using a character or series of characters dened by the creator of the transaction le. The rst record in the le MUST be the delimiter. NOTE: The delimiter MUST be different from the sub-delimiter used to denote multiple choice answers, which is a semi-colon (;) (explained in detail below). Transaction Record Termination All records in the le must be terminated with a delimiter, followed by a carriage return, followed immediately by a line feed. Vendor Identification and Software Identification Each vendor and/or custom system will be assigned an alphanumeric Vendor Identier after they have been registered at www.nrs.fema.gov as a NFIRS 5.0 software vendor. The Vendor Identier assigned may be up to 10 characters in length. In addition, each version of the software activated will be assigned a unique alphanumeric Software Identier. The Software Identier may be up to 5 characters in length. When entered in NFIRS 5.0 transaction les, all alpha characters in the Vendor Identier and the Software identier elds must be upper case. The second record in the le MUST contain both the vendor and software identication numbers. Example: Delimiter ^ Vendor XYZ Vendor Identication Number 12S22R69K Software Version 1.1 Software Identication Number 1234C Vendor and Software Identication Record 12S22R69K^1234C^

Addition, Deletion, Change and No Activity Transaction Flags Each paper based form for the NFIRS support a Delete/Change ag in section A. This convention has been mimicked in the transaction le format. Each Transaction Record has a Transaction Type eld, which can have the following values. Value Transaction Type Blank Addition 1 Change 2 Delete 3 No Activity Add Incident When a new incident is transmitted, the rst record should be the Basic Incident Transaction. If this is not the rst record of the new
134 NFIRS VERSION 5.0 DESIGN DOCUMENTATION

TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION - INCIDENT FLAT FILE TRANSFER FORMAT

incident, a fatal error will be generated. All subsequent transactions are included with the incident until the key values change or the end of the le is reached. Change and Delete Transaction When an incident needs to be modied, a Change transaction should be transmitted. This includes changing records that already exists as well as transmitting new records for an existing incident (e.g. adding another casualty record to an existing incident). This change transaction must contain all the eld values that should replace all the existing values for that transaction. (i.e. If one eld in a transaction changes, the entire transaction must be transmitted). When a particular transaction has been removed from an incident, a Delete transaction should be transmitted. When a parent transaction is deleted, all child transactions for that parent are also deleted. If the Basic Incident Transaction is deleted, the entire incident is deleted. (Including any exposure record for re incidents) All transactions for an incident must appear at the same point in the transaction le. To ensure proper execution of change and delete transactions for an incident, they must be grouped into the following order. Deletion of existing records for the incident (in descending sequence) Addition of new records for the incident (in ascending sequence) Changes to existing records for the incident Delete transactions MUST be grouped in descending sequence to ensure proper processing. For example, if three (3) casualty records exist for an incident and the last two (2) are to be deleted, the transactions should be transmitted as follows: Delete Casualty Number 3 Delete Casualty Number 2 Addition transactions must be aware of any/all delete transactions that have been previously processed for the incident, and must use the appropriate sequence numbers. If in the above example, a new casualty were to be added after the delete transactions had been processed, the rst casualty added must use Casualty number 2. No Activity No Activity transactions should only send the 1000 Incident Header Transaction. A code of 3 for No Activity should be entered in the Transaction Type (the 7th element) for these transactions.
NFIRS VERSION 5.0 DESIGN DOCUMENTATION 135

TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION - INCIDENT FLAT FILE TRANSFER FORMAT

Fire Department Transactions The Fire Department Transactions records (record types 2000 through 2020) are provided for the transmission of specic re department information. These records, when transmitted, need to be contained in a separate at le (i.e. These records can not be transmitted as part of the incident at le). When reporting begins under NFIRS 5.0, each department will need to submit an initial Fire Department Header Record (record type 2000) in a separate at le so that basic information about each department can be established in the State database. Sequence Numbering Methodologies When multiple records can occur for a single type of transaction, the transactions employ one of two possible numbering methodologies. For both types of methodologies, the numbers must be incremented by one (1). In addition, the transaction records must occur in the le in their ascending sequential order (although the transaction records do not necessarily need to appear one after the other). Zero Based Numbers starting at 0 and incrementing by 1. One Based Numbers starting at 1 and incrementing by 1. Data Types Legend A (Alphabetic) Alphabetic characters. If the user has not provided information, an empty eld should be transmitted. X (Text) Alphanumeric or special characters. If the user has not provided information, an empty eld should be transmitted. N (Numeric) Integer numbers (no decimal points). If the user has not provided information, an empty eld should be transmitted. All Integer values are assumed to be positive. Any elds which allow a negative Integer value have been denoted with + or in the comment eld. Negative numbers should be transmitted with the minus sign preceding the digits. F (Floating Point) Floating point precision numbers (The expected length column depicts the max left and right side precision). If the user has not provided information, an empty eld should be transmitted. C (Coded Field) The coded eld relating to an entry in the code table. Most coded elds allow for Plus+ One codes. For these elds the expected length of the coded entry is depicted as (National length OR
136 NFIRS VERSION 5.0 DESIGN DOCUMENTATION

TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION - INCIDENT FLAT FILE TRANSFER FORMAT

Plus+ One length). Only elds with this notation in the expected length column allow for Plus+ One denitions. If the user has not provided information, an empty eld should be transmitted. Y (Yes/No) A (Y)es/(N)o ag. NOTE: This is case sensitive and must be capital Y or N. If the user has not provided information, a value of N should be transmitted (if no value is transmitted, N is assumed). Positive and Negative Numbers Certain Numerical Fields can contain positive or negative numbers. When a numerical eld has a value that is positive, only the number should be given and the eld length requirements should be observed. However, when a eld value is negative, the number should be preceded by a minus sign (-), and the eld length requirements should be observed, without accounting for the minus sign. Multiple Choice Fields Fields that permit multiple values (e.g. a multiple choice coded eld) must use a semi-colon (;) to separate the coded values. The eld must ALWAYS end with a semi-colon, EXCEPT if the eld contains no values. Example: Delimiter: ^ User had selected the following coded values (1,22,30). (Prior elds) ^1;22;30;^ (Subsequent elds) Note: If the eld had been empty, the transaction record would appear as follows: (Prior elds) ^^ (Subsequent elds) Multiple Choice elds allow for Plus+ One codes (described above). A MC in the Comments column designates multiple Choice elds. In addition, the maximum number of responses allowed is noted in parenthesis. If None is the given response for a multiple choice questions, the None code should be listed in the eld. This allows for the critical differentiation between a None response and a eld which had no response. Date and Time Date and Time eld responses can have the following notations in the transaction, depending on the type of eld (Date Only or Date and Time). Field Type Date Only or Date and Time Date Only Date and Time Date and Time Scenario Field Format No Date or Time Provided Blank YYYYMMDD YYYYMMDDHHMM YYYYMMDDHHMMSS

User Defined Transactions User may dene their own NFIRS 5.0 transaction types in order to collect data elds not specied in the national NFIRS 5.0 standard. These elds may be dened by states or by local re departments for their own use locally. The 7000 transaction series is reserved for local re department use. The 8000 series is reserved for state use. The 9000 series is currently reserved for future national expansion. In order to properly set up a user dened transaction, use these guidelines: 1. Each user dened transaction must contain the rst seven key elds in the Incident Header (1000) transaction before beginning the user dened elds. 2. The user dened transactions must follow the same format and rules dened in this document for standard NFIRS 5.0 transactions. TABLE 3-6. Index of Transaction (Sheet 1 of 3)

DATA DICTIONARY

Data Dictionary
The NFIRS 5.0 data dictionary codes that follow contain a shorter version of the code descriptors for the NFIRS 5.0 specication. These descriptors are a maximum of fty (50) characters in length and are intended for use in automated NFIRS 5.0 data collection systems. The full length code descriptors are available in the NFIRS 5.0 Reference Guide available from the United States Fire Administration. Important Notes For Developers: Certain codes in the data dictionary are designated as conversion only codes in the following manner:
Code # Code Descriptor (conversion only)

Codes that are identied in this manner are used solely to store data converted from the NFIRS 4.1 format and are never used for the collection of data in NFIRS 5.0. Under no circumstances should these codes ever be included in automated data entry systems code look-ups, pick-lists or code tables. Including the conversion only codes in such a manner will result in a failure to successfully complete NFIRS 5.0 software certication. Also note that in some cases the (conversion only) designation at the end of codes may make the total descriptor length exceed 50 characters. Since these codes are not to be used to collect data, this should not have an impact on the descriptor eld size. Please note that for the numeric code values listed in the following pages, hierarchical code placeholders are used. These placeholders are not themselves valid codes used for data entry. Instead they are used as section titles for code groups and are intended for use in automated picklists and database groupings used by data analysts. They should never be allowed as valid choices for data entry and will be rejected as invalid by the NFIRS 5.0 edits. Some examples of code placeholders are 1 Fire and 10 Fire, other in the Incident Type eld listing below. Tables for all of the data dictionaries can be obtained on the USFA website at: http://www.nrs.fema.gov/documentation/design/

DATA DICTIONARY - HAZARDOUS MATERIALS MODULE

HazMat Chemical Database The HazMat Chemical Database is provided to developers as a means of maintaining consistency with the NFIRS 5.0 standard software and also in order to improve consistency and usability of chemical name information collected in the NFIRS 5.0 HazMat module. The HazMat Chemical Database consists of many, but not all, of the most commonly released chemicals currently responded to by the nations re service. The HazMat Chemical Database was created as a product of the development of the Hazardous Materials Guide for First Responders which, in turn, was developed under the Fireghters Safety Study Act (Pub. L. 101-446 - Oct. 22, 1990). The database is intended to be a living document and will be updated on a regular basis as warranted. Intended Use By Developers The Chemical Database contains a Chemical ID Number, which should be used as an internal key uniquely identifying chemicals and their associated trade names. The Chemical ID Number key is designed for internal use by software only and is organized in the following manner: 3. Digits 1 through 4 are the unique identier for a chemical (ex. Acetal is 0001). 4. Digits 5 through 7 are a unique identier for synonyms or trade names for that chemical. 5. Zeros (000), in the Trade Name Identier (positions 5 though 7) indicate a base chemical name (not a trade name). 6. If the Trade Name Identier is greater than zeros (001-999), the record is a trade name alias for the base chemical. 7. Base chemicals and their associated trade names share a common unique identier (positions 1-4). Example: Acetal has a Chemical ID Number of 0001000. The numbers 0001 in positions 1-4 uniquely identify the chemical as Acetal. The last three digits are zeros so Acetal is the base chemical name. Acetal also has several synonyms. Is it also known as Acetaldehyde ethylacetal, which has a Chemical ID number of 0001001. The rst four positions (0001) are the same (indicating it is still Acetal) but the 001 in the last 3 positions indicates that it is the rst trade name for Acetal. Acetal has three trade names (001-003) associated with it in the HazMat Chemical Database. They are all the same chemical as the base chemical name Acetal (0001). Data Entry Guidelines Chemicals selected from the database by the user must be taken from the HazMat Chemical database table and stored in the Chemical Name eld. If a chemical trade name is selected (positions 5-7 greater than zeros)
NFIRS VERSION 5.0 DESIGN DOCUMENTATION 203

DATA DICTIONARY - HAZARDOUS MATERIALS MODULE

the base chemical name (000 record) should be stored in the eld. The associated UN Number and CAS number may also be automatically lled from the database when there is a match and those values are present in the record. If the chemical involved is not present in the Chemical Database, the user must be allowed to directly enter the name of the chemical, the UN Number and the CAS Number into the appropriate elds. This method outlined above allows for uniform spelling and formatting of data when values are present in the database but does not preclude entry of chemical names if they are not present in the database. Using the example above, if there was yet another trade name for Acetal that was not included in the HazMat Chemical Database, the user should be allowed to enter that trade name into the Chemical Name eld even though it was not present in the database. The most current version of the Chemical Database may be obtained from the USFA at: http://www.nrs.fema.gov/documentation/design/

Conversion Tables for NFIRS 4.1 to 5.0


This section is provided to assist in the transition from NFIRS 4.1 to NFIRS 5.0. Users of data that has been converted are cautioned to review both the old data description and the new data description(s) as there may be some slight variations and some assumptions had to be made. NFIRS databases from data years 1999 through 2008 contain converted NFIRS incidents using the tables in this section as a basis. On January 1, 2009, NFIRS ceased collection of NFIRS legacy version 4.1 incidents. Data in the 4.1 format collected after the NFIRS 4.1 sunset date are no longer converted and imported into the NFIRS database. General guidelines All insufcient information 0 have been changed to the appropriate other classication. Any reference to classications in another data element are to the NFIRS 4.1 classications if in the NFIRS 4.1 column and to the NFIRS 5.0 if in the 5.0 column Abbreviations used in conversion tables are as follows: MPT = FPU = AFO = EII = TMI = SS = Mobile Property Type. Fixed Property Use. Area of Origin. Equipment Involved in Ignition. Type of Material Ignited. Structure Status.

NFIRS 4.1 Carryover Elements Note that the following elements will be carried in the NFIRS 5.0 system as part of the converted 4.1 records. These elements are not collected in NFIRS 5.0 and are carried in the converted 4.1 records for legacy purposes only: Method of Alarm from Public. Method of Extinguishment. Construction Type. Extent of Smoke Damage. Type of Material Generating Most Smoke. Form of Material Generating Most Smoke. Avenue of Smoke Travel.

TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION - SOFTWARE CERTIFICATION PROCEDURES

NFIRS 5.0 Vendor Software Development Procedures


The United States Fire Administration (USFA) will no longer certify vendor transaction les for the NFIRS 5.0. The USFA will instead maintain a list of re software vendors that have registered with USFA to obtain NFIRS 5.0 development materials and the vendor validation tool. We will also maintain vendors readiness status on the list based on their reports to us on their status. The new procedure has 5 steps: 1. Vendors will register their company/organization and their software to receive a vendor ID and a software ID. This step is the same as in the previous certication procedure. All transaction les processed at the national level are required to have these two IDs embedded in the transaction le as specied in the design documentation. News, Design Documentation, and Tools for Vendors may be found at the vendor section of the USFA website. https://www.nrs.fema.gov/vendors/ 2. Vendors will be requested to develop software using the NFIRS 5.0 design documentation and then test their output transaction les using the validation tools USFA provides for those purposes. NFIRS design documentation and other information may be downloaded from the registration website at: http://www.nrs.fema.gov/documentation/design/ 3. Vendors are requested to notify USFA when their product development is completed and tested to be compatible with the national NFIRS 5.0 database standard. 4. Vendors who have notied USFA in step 3 above will be marked as active vendors on the registered list. This new status will supersede the previous two status categories of conditionally certied and fully certied. 5. Fire Departments and states may use the USFA maintained list of vendors as a resource when shopping for a software product. Because the USFA will no longer nationally certify vendors NFIRS 5.0 transaction les formats, it will be extremely important for state agencies, re departments and vendors to continue monitoring data quality issues. State agencies are the authority for state reporting compliance. Issues with NFIRS vendor les should be addressed by the re department, the vendor and the state involved. The USFA will continue to act as a resource for states to identify data problems at the national level. Vendors should retest their software after software revisions or version changes. In order to maintain a uniform National reporting standard: Fire departments should make sure they have the most current version of the vendor software installed.

Query and Reporting Requirements


Reporting Requirements All database inputs to the standard reports dened below will have denable database lters which can be set by the report user prior to report generation. The lter will consist of predened eld parameters that will allow generation of data subsets based on the values entered before report generation. Field parameters will consist of a range of values or values greater, less than or equal to a designated value. Those parameters that require ranges of values are designated by (range of) after the parameter eld name. Text eld parameters require the ability to do partial searches and the use of wildcard characters. More complex queries involving the use of the Boolean logical or statement or combinations of Boolean and/or logic will require use of ad hoc query capabilities described at the end of these reporting requirements. Note that not all eld parameters may be available for each report depending on the report type. The following is a total list of all NFIRS 5.0 eld parameters (subdivided by module): All Incidents

Cause Categories Report The USFA re cause methodology consists of using a set of hierarchical sorting rules based primarily on the Ignition Cause and Factors, Equipment Involved in Ignition, and Heat Source (plus Exposure Number) to create a hierarchical sorting of all res into 35 priority (hierarchical) cause codes. These priority cause codes are then regrouped into 12 major cause categories plus a residual unknown-cause group. This framework has proved enormously useful to analysts over the years and is continued under NFIRS version 5.0. Fires are assigned to a cause category based on a set of rules. Fires that do not meet the criteria are then available for cause assignment from the next rule. Anything left at the end is declared Unknown. These hierarchical groups are then grouped together to form the 13 major cause groups that re analysts currently use. The Cause Category Methodology Matrix table containing the new hierarchical grouping rules is available by clicking the following url: http://www.nrs.fema.gov/documentation/design/ Note: As was the cause in previous versions, these cause category groupings are intended for use with structure res only. They will not accurately portray causes for Outside or Vehicle res and they were not designed for that purpose.

SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION GUIDELINES


System Selection Issues
Implementation of NFIRS 5.0 includes decisions about hardware, software, policy development, training, and planning. NFIRS 5.0 users have several options to consider when choosing their hardware architecture, software application and database for implementation. Decisions regarding these issues are made with consideration for the current demand for information collection and management, anticipated expansion in the number of users, and the expectations for data analysis. NFIRS Version 5.0 is designed to make extensive use of the technology that is available today, while allowing for future new technologies. NFIRS 5.0 takes advantage of the Internet for transmitting local re department data to both the state and national database. The USFA will make standard NFIRS 5.0 software available to states upon request. This software is designed to provide data entry, validation, data conversion, data and system management services. It is designed to run on most 32-bit operating systems. It can interface with other databases through the Open Database Connectivity Standard (ODBC) at the local or state level. States that choose to distribute the Data Entry software to their departments must agree to provide all technical and help-desk support to departments within their jurisdiction.

Platform Architecture Overview


Stand Alone Personal Computers (PC) Personal computers can be a cost effective approach to incident data collection and analysis. A stand alone PC is appropriate for situations in which there are a limited number of users who need to access the application, and concurrent access is not an issue. A re department with a single station and a few qualied data users may be able to successfully use a stand-alone application. A PC application may be sufcient even if a large amount of data must be captured, provided the data need not be shared by users at other workstations. A department with several re stations that sends all incident reports to a central location to be entered into the reporting application may also nd that the stand alone application meets its needs.
NFIRS VERSION 5.0 DESIGN DOCUMENTATION 333

SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION GUIDELINES

The advantages of using a PC can include: Generally the least costly alternative in terms of initial cost and ongoing maintenance Can usually run on a moderately congured PC. Windows 95-based applications generally will require a pentium machine with 32 MB of RAM. Windows NT-based applications generally will require a Pentium or above machine with 64 MB of RAM. Administration and maintenance of the application is controlled at a single point and can be handled by a single person. A large amount of data can be collected and reported provided the PC hardware has the capacity to store and process the data. However, the application and data can only be accessed from a single location by one person at a time. It may be difcult or impossible to add Local Area Network (LAN) access to the application at a later date and still maintain acceptable performance of the system. TABLE 4-1. Hardware and Software Platform Guidelines - System Type: Stand Alone
Hardware Operating Systems/ Network OS Development Tools
Pentium based PC with 32 MB of RAM is the minimum recommendation for Windows 95 or NT. Windows 95 Windows NT PC Development tool that produce Windows based applications that utilize PC based le systems. Examples of such tools include, but are not limited to: FoxPro Windows Visual FoxPro Paradox Windows dBase Windows Visual dBase Clipper Visual Basic PC le systems that support relational or hierarchical database structures. Examples of these le system include, but are not limited to: Base les Access Files Btrieve les Stand alone applications utilizing one of the listed le structures are capable of managing large numbers of records provided the PC running the application is equipped with adequate RAM and hard disk space.

NFIRS VERSION 5.0 DESIGN DOCUMENTATION

SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION GUIDELINES

Local Area Network Local Area Networks (LAN) expand the capability to include multiple users working concurrently in the system. An incident reporting application that is designed to run on a LAN is appropriate for situations in which there are a number of users who need concurrent access to the application. A LAN-based application running in a re department that needs several people at the same location to use the application at the same time will provide connectivity and shared access. Depending on the amount of data being captured and the design of application software, a LAN also may be able to supply limited access to workstations outside the physical location of the network through remote access. A small LAN can be congured with one server providing account verication, le sharing, print sharing, and application sharing. LAN advantages include: Access to the application and data concurrently by a set number of users. Controlled access to the application by the network administrator. Groups of individuals can be given access to just those applications for which they have a need. Controlled administration and maintenance of the application at a single point, with the results available to all workstations connected to the LAN. The ability to add workstations as more people need access to applications served by the network. It is also likely that additional software licenses will be required as users are added.

The LAN will require a higher commitment to system maintenance, both hardware and software, than a stand alone PC. A LAN, though, raises issues not encountered in PC platforms. The cost of hardware for a LAN can be considerably more than a stand alone PC. A dedicated server machine is needed as well as workstation PCs to access the server. Additional LAN hardware, such as network interface cards and cable, must also be purchased. A LAN will require someone to administer its functions: backups, software installation and upgrades, security validations, hardware and software problem determination, etc. This can be someone at the users site who has been trained in the network operating system (NOS) or a vendor who has been contracted to handle the administration. A LAN will require a hardware maintenance contract to cover component failures and routine service. A large increase in the number of users on the LAN, or in the number of applications being run, may require additional servers. Adding remote access to the LAN may result in unacceptable performance of certain applications at the remote workstations.

The Hardware and Software Platform Guideline Table on the next page describes additional issues to be considered when exploring a LAN system.

Examples of these le systems include, but are not limited to: xBase les Access les Btrieve les For larger single site LANs, LANs that require some remote access, or sites that will be capturing and processing very large amounts of data, a RDBMS is a better choice. Examples of these le systems include but are not limited to: SyBase SQL Server DB2/2 Small LAN installations that are running applications that rely on xBase le structures must be aware that data bases with large amounts of data can greatly affect application performance. This degradation of performance can be particularly noticeable on remote access work stations. This is due to the inherent nature of the way these types of les are processed by the applications that use them. In order to perform certain tasks, the entire database must sometimes be transported over the LAN wire or, in a worst case scenario, over a slow telephone line. Depending on what level of performance you require, this type of installation can be expected to handle from several thousand to 10 or 20 thousand records. A small LAN running an application that is using RDBMS can handle very large amounts of data and still maintain an acceptable level of performance. However, for applications that will only be dealing with small amounts of data, this data access method will be slower than a simple at le data base. Required for RDBMS Required Required

Wide Area Network A Wide Area Network can be effective in large Metro departments and in regional settings in which many departments agree to share a system. A large jurisdiction, city, county, or state with a regional central reporting agency may need an incident reporting application that is designed to run on a large LAN or wide area network (WAN). This platform is appropriate for situations in which there are a large number, or geographically dispersed, group of users who need concurrent access to the application. The heavy volume of data and remote access requirements in this situation require an application that takes advantage of a relational database management system (RDBMS) running on a centralized server. It also is likely that additional servers are required to handle account verication and le sharing requirements. The advantages users gain with a WAN include: Wide access to applications and other services provided by the network to a large and geographically dispersed group of users. A centralized data repository for collection and reporting purposes. Applications utilizing RDBMS technologies are generally more scalable. This allows for future growth of the system. Applications using RDBMS technologies are much more secure than applications using many other data management systems. The Hardware and Software Platform Guideline Table on the next page describes additional information to be considered when exploring a WAN system.

Mainframe Computer Mainframe systems can be cumbersome and complex, but can be appropriate where a municipal system is available. A mainframe-based solution is only possible if an existing hardware, software, and support structure already exists to support a mainframe environment. Even with such an environment, it is often difcult to obtain the programming and analysis support necessary to develop a large application. An organization with a mainframe environment will generally have an Information Systems Department that will work with the business area to determine the feasibility and economics of building a particular application on a mainframe. Anyone considering building an incident reporting application in this manner should consult with their internal data processing support organization. Network Server Overview File servers allow sharing of software applications through a central processing unit that downloads applications to workstations. Network servers can be divided into two broad categories: le servers that provide le sharing, print sharing, and authentication services, and application servers that run applications such as database engines or web servers. The two types of servers have different hardware and software requirements because they perform different types of services. File Server A le server runs a network operating system and supplies the application and data les to the network workstations. The applications execute and the data is processed on the workstation. The server needs fast, large hard drives and fast network adapters to provide optimum performance for the le and print sharing services provided by the server. The amount of RAM and processor speed are important to the user authentication and verication services provided by the server, but are usually not the limiting factor in le server performance. An application that is being served from a le server loads the executable les into the RAM of the workstation. The workstation performs all of the work required by the application program. Data is transferred from the server to the workstation as it is needed to perform application functions. Applications that use at le or xBase type databases can be slowed considerably by transmission times when databases become very large. In order to perform certain application functions, a copy of the entire database must be transferred from the server to the workstation for the application to process the data. The network operating system that runs on the le server needs to have the ability to handle the sharing of disk and print resources among numerous connected workstations and to perform authentication and security functions. The NOS does not necessarily need to be a true pre-emptive multi-tasking operation system as the le server does not generally run any other applications. The File Server Network Chart on the next page graphically displays a system that uses a le server.

SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION GUIDELINES

Application Server Application servers share the workload with the workstations, making the hard disk size and data transmission speed less critical than in a le server system. An application server runs a network operating system and runs shared applications such as a database engine. The application server shares the work to be done with the workstation. A database engine that is running on the server listens for requests from the workstations and processes those requests. Only the request is transmitted from the workstation to the server and only the answer is transmitted from the server back to the workstation. This arrangement puts an emphasis on the amount of RAM and number and speed of processors on the application server. Hard disk size and speed as well as transmission speed is also a factor affecting server performance, but these factors are not as critical for application server performance. The network operating system that runs on the application server needs to have the ability to process multiple requests for data or other services, such as communication services, simultaneously. A true pre-emptive multi-tasking operation system is best for this type of server. The Application Server Network Chart on the next page graphically displays a system that uses an application server.

Software Selection Issues


Software decisions can be guided by key questions that address the efcacy of the program and vendor support. Software for a re incident reporting system can be acquired from USFA (state-supported option only) or purchased as a standard package, much the same as word processing and desktop publishing programs. They can also be developed for specic custom application. Several points should be considered with either software approach. Many of the questions listed here could be used to develop a Request for Proposal to solicit bids for the installation and/ or to develop NFIRS 5.0 software in a jurisdiction. Off-the-Shelf Products These products are developed for distribution to multiple re agencies. The purchaser buys the product in its current conguration with minimum customization. Is the software NFIRS certied? How many years has the vendor been in business? How much experience does the vendor have in re service software? Does the vendor have any similar products? Can you obtain fully functional demonstrations of the program? Can the vendor provide a reference list of at least 10 customers? How will the vendor handle technical support and what is the cost? Can you review documentation and product tutorials? Is training available in the use of the software and how much does it cost? Is installation of the software available and how much does it cost? How does the vendor handle software xes and what are the costs? How does the vendor handle maintenance releases and what are the costs? Is the software compatible with other applications, spreadsheets, word processing, third-party report generators, etc.? Will the vendor maintain this software with changes in operating systems? What are the system requirements? What are the system maximums, such as capacity for records (estimate your needs for 3 years)? Is the software compatible with your operating system? What data analysis is built-in? How does the vendor suggest handling data back-up and recovery? What is the vendors primary business?
NFIRS VERSION 5.0 DESIGN DOCUMENTATION 343

SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION GUIDELINES

Custom Application Development Custom applications demand that the vendor focus on meeting the customers needs and standards. These products are developed and designed to meet the specic needs of a customer. The following questions are additions to those asked for standard software. Will access to the source code be available? What happens should the company or the product be sold? What development language will the vendor use? How does the vendor suggest handling platform maintenance? USFA Supplied Software The United States Fire Administration has developed client and server software for the use of states and departments. The software is designed to work with most 32-bit operating systems, such as Windows 95, Windows NT, System 7, UNIX, OS/2, etc. It incorporates platform portability through use of the JAVA software development language and can interface with non-ORACLE databases through an Open Database Connectivity interface. When standard system software components are used at the state or metro levels, a custom integration with existing databases may be required. For more detailed information about the USFA software option See Standard USFA Software Implementation Guidelines on page 353.

Quality Control Issues


On-scene reporting is the foundation on which a reliable system is built. Quality control is based on devising and using procedures that ensure precise and reliable data. Precision means complete and accurate data collection at the recommended level of detail for each coded eld; reliability means the data is collected and coded consistently. NFIRS data ows from the local level to the state level and then to the national level through the transfer le specication. The local re department is responsible for the quality of data in the transfer le it submits to the state. The state is responsible for the quality of the data in the transfer le it submits to the national level. Quality control measures ensure consistency and reliability. Quality control issues focus on: The software used to collect and analyze data The incident documentation process Editing the data and correcting errors Timeframes and deadlines for data submission throughout the system Accurate system participant information

344

NFIRS VERSION 5.0 DESIGN DOCUMENTATION

SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION GUIDELINES

Documenting the Incident The data collected to describe an incident is the foundation of the system, therefore, the eld participants in the system will need: Initial training for data collection Feedback on completeness and accuracy Refresher training on data collection and coding schemes Those who investigate incidents must be able to determine cause and record the incident for later data entry. They need to do a complete job of assembling the facts of the incident and then consistently record them each time. Therefore, after the initial training of all re departments for NFIRS 5.0, there should be a provision for annual refresher training. There also should be a system in place to double check the collection and data entry work. Field edits and relational edits can be built into the system that will reveal unacceptable and unreasonable data. Data management personnel utilize these techniques to improve and validate the data. Data Edits and Error Corrections Editing and correcting errors is a system-wide activity, involving local, state, and federal organizations. All errors resulting from the edit/update process need to be reported to re departments and the submission of corrections from re departments needs to be encouraged. This is especially critical for fatal errors, which prevent the data from being entered into the NFIRS database. The corrections for any errors reported to the local re department by the state should be included in the next months submission of data to the state. Uniform coding at the national level also necessitates edit checks and quality control monitoring. Timely Data Submission Data submission deadlines are required, especially for the annual year-end cutoff to ensure nal closure of the year. The state should establish and enforce a nal data submission deadline for each year in order to close the processing. Without a nal deadline, after which data is no longer accepted at the state level, data submissions will continue indenitely. The state should encourage timely data submission from every re department in order to submit the overall states data to the national level in time. Meeting data submission deadlines support state and federal efforts to analyze and disseminate the data. A continuous steady effort promoting participation of all re departments in a state is important for data quality. If the percentage of participating re departments is highly variable, then problem trends are not as reliable. This is especially true when larger re departments are involved in varying levels of participation from year to year.
NFIRS VERSION 5.0 DESIGN DOCUMENTATION 345

SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION GUIDELINES

Statewide statistics for both re and non-re incidents are less accurate when a smaller percentage of re departments are reporting and when a smaller percentage of incidents are reported. When the statewide problem statistics are lacking a signicant percentage of re incidents, the scope of the re problem appears to be smaller than it actually is for that state. This results in less support of the re service and less attention being paid to re prevention efforts. The information provided by a national reporting system loses value as it becomes less timely. The comparison of trends and the analysis of data queries from state to state and from metro department to metro department are not possible until the year is closed. The last state to submit its data to the national level determines when nal national statistics and information will become available to all for that year. Maintaining Fire Department Identification and Participation Information Documentation of local participation helps states manage data submission and quality throughout the year. Two or more re departments can merge into one, one re department can split into more than one, new re departments are formed, and existing re departments cease to exist. Fire departments also change chiefs, phone numbers, addresses, and areas covered. It is important for the state to maintain accurate and up to date records on all re departments. It is also important to maintain logs of data received, data processed (edit/update), and errors found in data submissions by re department for each month and year. It is important for a states credibility to be able to answer questions like, Did you get the March data I sent 3 weeks ago? These logs provide a handy reference to keep close watch on participation and timely reporting by re department. Waiting until sometime after the nal year-end deadline to realize that some re departments have not submitted any data is too late.

Training Issues
Audience There is a critical need for training at several levels of a primary re reporting entity. This is critical to ensure accurate collection methods and strong support for the reporting system. Fire department personnel training can focus on cause determination and collection methods. Fire Department Personnel Those re department members with reporting responsibilities, who work at the scene of the incident, are the important rst link in the data collection process. Without their support and cooperation, the incident reporting system will break down at a most critical point.
346 NFIRS VERSION 5.0 DESIGN DOCUMENTATION

SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION GUIDELINES

Training needs for these department members include: Cause Determination: Accurate reporting demands that the causes of res and other incidents be found whenever possible. The quality of data can be signicantly improved with an organized training program in cause determination. Data Denition: Primary data collectors need to rst know what items are to become part of the system and understand how to dene each item. This will require a working knowledge of the system data dictionary. At this point, great contributions can be made to data quality as the collection is made at the proper precision with consistent interpretation. Information Gathering: Primary collectors must know and use the proper mechanics to get the data into the system. This includes utilizing the appropriate forms and techniques to move the data from the scene of the incident to the point of computer input. It may even include computer input if these re department personnel are responsible for it. Reporting Benets: For the purpose of motivation, reghters and other primary data collectors need to understand how the collection of data benets them in their work. They need to feel that the data is being used to increase their effectiveness as reghters. Data Management Personnel Data management personnel training concentrates on information collection and quality control. These are the personnel who are responsible for processing the data into its nal form, usually in a computer disk le. They are responsible for the overall management of the data system and handle the dissemination of information developed from the data. In small departments, they may be the same reghters who collect data at the incident scene. However, in larger departments they will likely be specialists whose primary task is to process incident reports. Data Collection System Mechanics: Training is needed in how and when to interface with the other members of the collection team. Scheduling of data submission and specic responsibilities of all those involved is important to those managing the system, including when and how to submit data to other agencies. Using the Computer Software: Most collection systems will be computer-based and the data managers will be operators of this equipment. They will need detailed training and instructions on how to utilize the software and hardware needed to process data for the incident system. In addition, training may be needed in operating systems and local area network systems.

NFIRS VERSION 5.0 DESIGN DOCUMENTATION

347

SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION GUIDELINES

Quality Control Considerations: Data managers have the major responsibility for maintaining high quality data. They need training in the many different techniques of ensuring that data is collected accurately and reliably. Chiefs, Officers, and Data Users These are usually senior department personnel who turn the raw data into usable and understandable information for distribution. They will take the computer les and manipulate and rene the data into tables, graphics and other forms appropriate for the intended audience. Audience Recognition and Plausible Uses: Managers need training in recognizing the many different audiences for incident information. This information should include appropriate ways to present the information to a particular user. Data Analysis Skills: Appropriate training for these managers would include the many different ways to analyze the data and turn it into meaningful information. They should be qualied to utilize statistical programs as well as graphic presentation tools. Data Denitions: This group must be able to understanding the exact meaning of every data element and the codes that are used to classify the incidents. Thorough training on the data dictionary will enable these managers to properly interpret the information as they develop presentations for end users. Training Frequency Just as operations training is incorporated into a departments routine, data collection and management need to become regular training events. Based on the needs of the department, training will be appropriate many different times. The size of the department, number of training personnel available, and the method of data collection all dictate the frequency of training events. Change-over Time: When a new reporting system is adopted there will be an urgent need to provide training for most of the department personnel. There will be many questions about procedures and features of the new system. This is an excellent time to provide those training classes while members are motivated to learn as much as they can about the new system. This training also will ensure that there is no drop in quality during the changeover. Regular Drills: Training drills afford an opportunity to provide reporting system training on a regular schedule. By giving an appropriate amount of training on a scheduled basis, personnel can learn the system without being pulled from their duties. This requires coordination from company ofcers.

348

NFIRS VERSION 5.0 DESIGN DOCUMENTATION

SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION GUIDELINES

Data Entry Point: Training materials should be present at the data entry points for regular use and reference by those personnel. The frequency of training would be as needed by those entering data. Scheduled Training Events: It will be helpful to schedule training events periodically to introduce new procedures and reinforce established ones. There will be times when the only way to accomplish the training goals is to put groups together and present classes. Training Approaches A wide variety of training approaches encourages individual and group exploration of the data system and its impact on the department. Organized Classes: In these situations, an instructor is placed in a class of an appropriate size and a traditional training event occurs. Many innovative techniques may be used such as audio/visual and computerized procedures, but the training is held in the traditional class format. Video Presentations: This approach utilizes a videotaped program as the primary medium for training. It can be a class presentation that has been reduced to video, or it can be actual or simulated action situations used for illustration and training. It may be accompanied by written tests or response documents. Computer-aided Instruction: These training events are usually done on an individual basis and utilize a computer to present the information and perhaps receive responses from the learners. Major types of computer aided instruction include tutorials, interactive programs, and game simulations. Help Files: These informational documents usually accompany computer programs. They can now be produced as stand-alone documents for use in different learning situations. They can be displayed using standard computer programs. Working Manuals: These documents are developed and provided for the purpose of step-by-step guidance in accomplishing the subject matter. They take the form of instruction manuals, documentation manuals, and handbooks. On-line Sources: It is now possible to distribute training information and instructions over local area networks and the Internet. This makes it possible to reach large audiences with a common body of knowledge of interest to many users.

SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION GUIDELINES

Implementation Action Plan Integrating hardware, software, policy development, and training requires an action plan that will help manage NFIRS 5.0 implementation. An action plan is a powerful tool to assist in clarifying goals, objectives and determining who, what, when and how the objectives will be met. The Goal - implementing NFIRS 5.0 - has several objectives that need to be achieved for the system to be operational. Each objective has specic tasks that may be dependent on the completion of other tasks or objectives. Following are several benets gained from using an action plan process for NFIRS 5.0 implementation: To provide a management tool for achieving a successful implementation To give the project a focus and direction To furnish a blueprint for management to monitor project status To render a shared view of the project that leads to improved teamwork and cohesiveness Following this section is a sample action plan for implementing NFIRS 5.0. The objectives are clearly measurable and the tasks for each objective have a clearly dened start/stop date and responsible party. It is best to keep timeframes for each objective under 6 months. Objectives that take longer than 6 months may be jeopardized by changing requirements and budgets. The sample action plan objectives, tasks and time frames are dependent on the jurisdictions operating environment. Changes will be required to tailor the plan to your jurisdiction. For example, budget approvals and contract awards may be done outside the organization and can take signicantly longer to complete. This plan also assumes that any custom development can be completed in 8 weeks. This may be an underestimate if the work is being done by another governmental agency.

STANDARD USFA SOFTWARE IMPLEMENTATION GUIDELINES


State Software
The United States Fire Administration has developed a standard software package which states may use to implement the NFIRS 5.0 standard described in this specication. Entities that choose not to develop their own NFIRS 5.0 compliant software may use the USFA provided standard software. The USFA software package consists of the following software components: Data Entry Tool The USFA Data Entry Tool provides the user the ability to enter, validate and maintain NFIRS 5.0 compliant incident information. The software can be used by departments to enter incidents and by the state NFIRS program manager to enter paper incidents and to manage the state database of reported incidents. The Data Entry tool supports all paper forms associated with the national standard. In addition, the tool includes support for a number of options that provide states and local departments the ability to setup information outside the national standard. This includes the following: Plus+ One Codes: Every coded eld included in the national standard allows for one additional level of specicity, denable by the state. For example, if the national standard for a code is three digits, a fourth digit is provided for the states to provide more specic responses. State and Local Information: To encourage states and local re departments to participate, additional state and local elds may be captured using the Data Entry Tool. (Note: This information needs to be setup in the system using the Program Administration Tool, which is discussed below). Special Studies: Special Studies track specic coded responses for information that is captured only for a specic period of time. These studies may be performed at the national, state and/or local level. This information can be setup and maintained using the Data Entry tool.

NFIRS VERSION 5.0 DESIGN DOCUMENTATION

STANDARD USFA SOFTWARE IMPLEMENTATION GUIDELINES

Fire departments interested in using the USFA standard data entry software must contact their state NFIRS program manager to see if the standard USFA software will be supported by their state. States choosing to provide the standard USFA data entry software to their departments must provide all technical and help-desk support for the software. If states lack resources to provide software support they may choose to implement other software options. Data Validation Tool One of the key objectives of the new NFIRS was to provide validation of incident information against the national standard at the earliest possible point in the reporting process, regardless of the tool used to enter the incident information. If the information is entered via the USFA Data Entry Tool, validation is automatically performed as the information is being entered. For those choosing to enter incident information via 3rd party or custom systems, the USFA Data Validation Tool can be used to validate a delimited at le containing the incident information. These delimited at les will serve as the lowest common denominator between the national NFIRS tools and other NFIRS 5.0 compliant systems. The process of validating incident information begins by reading all the records in the delimited at le associated with a particular incident exposure. If all records are read successfully, this information is then validated against all codes and rules dened at the national level, as well as any additional state and local information requirements. Data Conversion Tool Many states and local re departments will continue to report incidents using the NFIRS 4.1 standard. Another key objective for the new system is the ability to store and report on information entered in both 4.1 and 5.0 compliant systems. The new NFIRS 5.0 data structure will support the storage and reporting of NFIRS 4.1 compliant data. This data can be validated after entry and before transmission to the next level of the reporting process, using a process similar to that used in the USFA Data Validation Tool. NFIRS 4.1 data will go through the following conversion/validation processing as part of the NFIRS 5.0 system. NFIRS 4.1 data will be mapped to the NFIRS 5.0 format NFIRS 4.1 data will be marked as 4.1 data NFIRS 4.1 data will be validated against 4.1 rules Program Manager Administration Tool The new NFIRS 5.0 system is a dynamic, rules based system, which provides for state and local information needs. NFIRS Program Managers can use the USFA Program Manager Administration Tool for two main purposes.

First, this tool is used to enter and maintain state and local information requirements, including the following: Plus+ One Codes State Specic Rules and Actions State and Local Information - Coded Information - Numerical Information - Textual Information - Date/Time Information Second, this tool is used by states to Release their information within the national database for national analysis. All participating states are given ultimate control over when their information can be used for national analysis. In an effort to encourage states to send their information more frequently during the year, and as a safeguard for states who opt to store all their incident information on the national database, each state is responsible for releasing their information for national analysis. Two key points should be noted in reference to releasing incident information. Only valid incidents may be released for national analysis. Releasing incidents does not include sensitive information (names, addresses, etc.). For details on security levels for sensitive information elds See System Field Security Levels on page 112. System Administration Tool The system administration tool is used for the day-to-day technical operation of the NFIRS 5.0 system. This tool is used for the following functions: Maintain users and user groups. Assign NFIRS service permissions to user groups. Manage NFIRS services. View system performance statistics. Reporting Environments The NFIRS 5.0 system offers three different reporting environments, designed to accommodate the various needs of different users within the NFIRS community; the reporting environments are as follows: FEMA Intranet Reporting. WWW Internet Reporting. Direct Data Access (ODBC) Reporting.

Implementation Options
For states choosing to use the Standard NFIRS 5.0 software there are two implementation options: Implementation Using National Database States may choose to use the FEMA National Database Server as their primary storage for incident information. Each state database resides in its own protected area on the FEMA server. Hardware and database maintenance, backups and system performance handling is performed by FEMA and USFA. Database management is done via the FEMA WAN by the state NFIRS program manager using the software components described above. These system software components are part of standard, USFA provided client software which resides on a computer in the state NFIRS program ofce. If data entry occurs at the state level, incident information may be entered directly into the national database via the NFIC Data Entry Tool. This entry may be accomplished only via the FEMA WAN. Local data entry, for a state which has implemented the NFIRS 5.0 System using the national database requires the use of a local database when entering information via the NFIC Data Entry Tool.

Implementation Using State Database The second option available to states is to allow states that desire a local Implementation State version of Using the NFIRS 5.0Database system access to the various system components for local implementation. This will require a local installation of the national Server based components and the use of an ORACLE database. States that choose this option will be required to provide their own hardware, disk storage, hardware maintenance, ORACLE Database Administrator (DBA), ORACLE maintenance and database backups. This step in implementation will occur only after the various components are determined to be stable under option one above. The following diagram illustrates this option: FIGURE 5-2.

STANDARD USFA SOFTWARE IMPLEMENTATION GUIDELINES

States that decide to develop their own state level software using this specication as a guide must use the second option described above with the following additional differences: The state must develop its own system and client software components. The state may choose to use a database other than ORACLE and transmit incidents through the Open Database Connectivity Standard (ODBC) or by using the standard Flat Transaction File format.

Hardware and Software Implementation Requirements


PLEASE NOTE: These requirements are subject to change pending final release of this specification! National Fire Data Center Hardware and Software At the national level, database sizing and usage estimates were used to specify the national database and web server. Database estimation factors included the following: National database server slated to hold 7-9 million incidents per year for the rst three years. EMS incidents will total 80% of all incidents nationwide. 15,000 Fire Service casualties per 1,000,000 Fires. 15,000 Civilian casualties per 1,000,000 Fires. Database overhead for indices, views, etc. estimated at 100% raw data size. From these estimates, the following hardware and common off-the-shelf software (COTS) were chosen for the national database server.
