Six Fire Departments Onboarded onto the New National Emergency Response Information System (NERIS)

“The new NERIS platform will replace the legacy data system known as the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS)…NERIS will fulfill the USFA’s National Fire Data Center’s obligation under the Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-498) to mitigate the fire problem, reduce loss of life and property, and educate the public on fire prevention and protection, as well as effects of all hazards.”
