The U.S. Fire Administration is phasing out NFIRS in favor of the National Emergency Response Information System (NERIS). This report uses the final NFIRS Public Data Release (2020–2024), which represents the last comprehensive public dataset available under the legacy system.
While departments will continue to have access to their own NERIS data, ongoing benchmarking and analysis requires tools to track trends over time and understand performance in context. Arborlook Insights (the provider of this free report) offers NERIS-based analytics and custom reporting to help departments make data-driven decisions.
This analysis is based on data from the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) Public Data Release (2020–2024). NFIRS data is voluntarily reported by fire departments across the United States, and data quality varies significantly between departments.
Data Limitations: Not all departments report consistently to NFIRS. Some departments may have missing years, incomplete incident records, or limited detail in their submissions. This report presents the data as reported—it may not reflect the full scope of a department's actual operations or call volume.
Community risk data is sourced from the FEMA National Risk Index and reflects census tract-level risk assessments independent of fire department reporting. While we strive for accuracy, this analysis is provided for informational purposes and should be validated against local records before use in planning or decision-making.
