Brief Description: Information needed to properly fill out the OFIRS reports

Full Description: To achieve uniformity in reporting, the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) has developed the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS). This system is based primarily on the work of the Nation fire Information Council (NFIC) and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Technical Committee on Fire Reporting. The NFPA Technical Committee on Fire Reporting is responsible for developing and maintaining NFPA 901, Standard Classifications for Incident Reporting and Fire Protection Data. This standard establishes basic definitions and terminology for use in incident reporting and serves as a means of classifying data so that the information can be aggregated. Upon completion of the class students will understand the benefits of using the Ohio and National Fire Incident Reporting System; explain the need to collect fire data; identify the modules that are included in the system and state the purpose of the complete reference guide. The course will cover the use of the following modules: Basic Module; Fire Module; Structure Fire Module; Civilian Fire Casualty Module and Fire Service Casualty Module. The Basic Module captures general information on every incident (or emergency call) to which the department responds. The Fire Module is used to describe each fire incident by tracking the particular types of fires or items involved in the fire. The Structure Fire Module used in conjunction with the Fire Module describes each structure fire to which the department responds. The Civilian Fire Casualty Module is used to report injuries or deaths to civilians or other emergency personnel (e.g. police officers, non-fire department/EMS personnel) that are related to a fire incident. this module is used in conjunction with the Fire Module and if applicable, the Structure Fire Module. The Fire Service Casualty Module is used to report injuries and deaths of firefighters. The module can also be used to report exposure of a firefighter to chemicals or biological agents at an incident where that exposure does not result in any symptoms at that time but that manifest themselves at a later date. This module may be used with any of the other modules.
