National Emergency Response Information System Launched to Modernize Incident Data Collection for American Fire Departments

'Following a successful beta testing period with more than 60 fire departments, NERIS Version 1 will onboard an additional 105 departments through the end of 2024. Starting in January 2025, NERIS will begin a 12-month nationwide rollout for all local fire and EMS departments. NERIS will ultimately replace the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) as the primary reporting tool and source of incident data for fire and EMS departments of all sizes across the United States.'
