Utah Fire Incident Reporting System
Fire Department Resources
NFIRS Sunset
The National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) has served as the nation’s primary system for collecting fire incident data since it was established in 1975. Since its inception, NFIRS has evolved from paper reports to a web-based platform to collect fire-based incident reports. While NFIRS has provided valuable data for federal, state and local agencies to identify trends in fire incidents, allocate resources and improve fire safety practices, it has become outdated and no longer supports the needs of the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) or the American fire service.
Today, we are preparing for the full transition from NFIRS to the new National Emergency Response Information System (NERIS) for fire-based, all-hazards incident reporting and data analytics for the fire service. NFIRS will sunset in February 2026 and will no longer be available. Provided below are key points and dates in the NFIRS sunset and transition to NERIS for fire-based, all-hazards incident reporting and analytics:
2026 incident reporting will only be in NERIS.
- Starting Jan. 1, 2026, incident data submission will be exclusively in NERIS.
- No calendar year (CY) 2026 incidents will be submitted into NFIRS.
- Jan. 31, 2026: end date for edits/modifications for CY25 incident records in NFIRS.
- NFIRS will be unavailable for all users starting in February 2026.
