8 Introduction FIRE IN NEW JERSEY 03 is a statistical analysis of fire and emergency incidents in New Jersey. The data collected and used in the formulation of this report comes from fire departments throughout New Jersey that participate in the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS). Fire service personnel enter incident data into their fire department computer-based NFIRS database and, on a monthly basis, submit their data to the Division of Fire Safety. The Division receives the fire department data, processes it into the State NFIRS database and forwards the data to the Federal NFIRS database. NFIRS BACKGROUND The Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act of 974 (P.L ) authorized the National Fire Data Center in the United States Fire Administration (USFA) to gather and analyze information on the frequency, causes, spread, and extinguishment of fires; on the number, nature and causes of injuries and deaths resulting from fires and on property loss. FIRE INCIDENT REPORTING IN NEW JERSEY The data used in this report is from fire departments that participate in the NFIRS. The statutes that created the Division of Fire Safety call for the Division to administer a fire incident reporting system in accordance with N.J.S.A. 5:7D-5d.(d.) To encourage participation, the Division of Fire Safety provides reference materials, incident field notes, and training to fire departments. The incident data that fire departments submit to the Division is forwarded to the National Fire Data Center at the United States Fire Administration. The Division began implementation of NFIRS 5 in 999 and all of the data used in this report is from NFIRS 5. NFIRS 5 is an all-incident based reporting system which captures the many different types of incidents to which fire departments respond. Please see pages 75 to 8 for a complete list of incident types.
