fire department as in a Fortune 500 corporation? Data drives decision-making.</p><p>For the fire service, this data is collected in the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS). It’s critical to make sure the data collected is complete and accurate because this information is used at all levels — from local budget development to the identification of national preparedness initiatives.</p><div class="row mb-5"><div class="col-12 p-3 p-lg-4 border bg-light"><div class="badge bg-dark mb-3">Announcement</div><h2 class="h3">Notice of enforcement: NFIRS 2015 specification cycle</h2><p>To improve data quality and consistency, we are enforcing several 2015 specification cycle rules previously not enforced by the NFIRS validation process.</p><p><a href="/nfirs/documentation/notice-of-specification-enforcement.html">Learn about 2015 specification cycle enforcement</a></p></div><div class="col-12 col-md-6 p-3 p-lg-4 bg-dark text-white"><div class="badge bg-light text-dark mb-3">Publication</div><h2 class="h3">Review and Assessment of Data Quality in the National Fire Incident Reporting System</h2><p>This report provides an assessment of NFIRS data quality, both at the state and data element levels, and highlights data quality checks and mechanisms available within the system.</p><p><a class="btn btn-outline-light" href="/downloads/pdf/publications/nfirs_data_quality_report.pdf"><span class="fa-sharp fa-regular fa-file-pdf"></span> Download the report</a></p></div><div class="col-12 col-md-6 p-3 p-lg-4 bg-dark bg-image d-none d-md-block" data-image-src="/img/share/monitor_data.1200x627.jpg" data-size="cover" data-posx="50%" data-posy="100%"></div></div><h2 class="mt-4">National Fire Data Center internal data quality checks</h2><p class="lead">The National Fire Data Center (NFDC) works to identify NFIRS data errors and to assist states and fire departments in fixing them.</p><p>Accurate fire incident reports are important. They can impact your department just as much as the entire United States. When incidents are documented for the NFIRS, there is the potential for data entry errors — mistakes that can alter the intended meaning of the information.</p><p>Several mistakes across a region may not be significant, but many mistakes in the same region — or worse, across the entire country — can dramatically affect the meaning of the data. The same result occurs when data is generalized, such as the overuse of the codes for unknown, none or other. Below are 3 identified mistake trends in the data, along with a brief discussion of each.</p><div class="accordion" id="trends"><div class="accordion-item"><h2 class="accordion-header" id="headingOne"><button class="accordion-button collapsed" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#collapseOne" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapseOne"><span class="display-6">High dollar loss</span></button></h2><div id="collapseOne" class="accordion-collapse collapse" aria-labelledby="headingOne" data-bs-parent="#trends"><div class="accordion-body"><p>Section G2 of the Basic Module collects information about the estimated dollar losses and values of property and contents. This is a crucial component of data collection since it is an indicator of fire impact within the U.S. It is important to note that these are only estimations, and the best estimate of the fire department is acceptable. Each field allows a dollar value up to $999,999,999.</p><p><strong>What the NFDC looks for:</strong> Every incident with a dollar loss value greater than $10,000,000.</p><p><strong>Issues identified:</strong> Extremely high values and negative dollar values.</p><p><strong>How to resolve:</strong> Data entry should be made carefully and checked to ensure accuracy.</p></div></div></div><div class="accordion-item"><h2 class="accordion-header" id="headingTwo"><button class="accordion-button collapsed" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#collapseTwo" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapseTwo"><span class="display-6">Duplication of information when using plus-one codes</span></button></h2><div id="collapseTwo" class="accordion-collapse collapse" aria-labelledby="headingTwo" data-bs-parent="#trends"><div class="accordion-body"><p>Plus-one codes are codes that fire departments and states can use to record incident information in regionally-specific detail. Since the plus-one (extra character) is not used in national level analyses, it can appear as if there is a duplicate Actions Taken code (Section F) in the Basic Module.</p><p><strong>What the NFDC looks for:</strong> Plus-one codes that duplicate the NFIRS code or base code. In this case, the base code length for Actions Taken is 2 characters, e.g., 86 (investigate). This occurs in multiple-coded fields, most often in the Actions Taken section (since up to 3 actions can be added per incident).</p><p><strong>Issues identified:</strong> Nearly every example of a duplicate Actions Taken code was due to using a base code and a plus-one code based on the same NFIRS or base code.</p><div class="alert alert-info my-4"><strong>Example:</strong> The first Actions Taken code is 11 (extinguishment by fire service personnel) and the second Actions Taken code is 112 (extinguishment with Compressed Air Foam System).
