The agency is instructed to continue efforts to improve response rates to NFIRS. The agency should also investigate the possibility of using additional studies to determine what characteristics of a fire department might make it less willing to participate in NFIRS and determine whether there is a systematic nonresponse bias to the system that should be disclosed in the published reports based on this system.

NFIRS is used at the local, State and Federal levels as a standard method of collecting information concerning fire incidents. Resulting data is used to quantify the fire problem at all levels and to formulate intervention strategies which target loss reduction due to fire. FEMA estimates that 60% of the responses will be collected electronically for NFIRS Version 4.1 submissions and 90% for NFIRS 5.0 submissions.
