Brief Description
Information needed to properly fill out the OFIRS reports
Full Description
The OFIRS course gives students a practical look at how to easily navigate National Fire Incident Reporting system (NFIRS) codes.  The student will learn when each field should and should not be filled out and how to find the information to put in the box.  Real world scenarios will be used to allow the student to use the knowledge gained to code incidents quickly and efficiently.  Many myths about fire reporting will be addressed and confusing fields like Mutual Aid, Exposures and Incident Types will be addressed and clarified.

This class will clarify how to code incidents which in turn will allow your department to leverage your data well and see what your Real Fire Problem is.  This will allow you to promote a CRR program and promote to your community good risk reduction.  This helps when trying to acquire grants and additional funding.

The U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) 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.
