NFPA 901-2016 PDF Download

The NFPA 901-2016 standard provides guidelines for fire departments and other fire protection organizations to effectively report data. It aligns closely with the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) to ensure consistency and a common language for reporting.

The standard focuses on establishing a common set of definitions and classifications that can be used by fire departments in the United States and other countries. It is used by both software developers and end users to enable accurate and consistent reporting of fire incidents and fire protection data.

NFPA 901-2016 has been revised to align better with the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) and covers various aspects including pre-incident environments, fire and emergency incidents, post-incident damage assessments, and fire service data. It also provides a classification system for data captured by automated databases.

It is important to note that the NFPA 901-2016 standard does not provide guidelines for a reporting system or related forms. Its main purpose is to establish a standardized framework for incident reporting and fire protection data classification.
