Data analysis helps local fire departments and States to focus on current problems, predict future problems in their communities, and measure whether their programs are working.

The annual burden hours has increased by 2,935,180 hours from the previous inventory due to an increase in participation/usage of NFIRS, a recommendation stipulated by OMB for previous approvals of NFIRS. Manual usage has decreased. NFIRS has seen approximately an 85 percent increase in the number of departments reporting fires between 1999 and 2009 (the last year for which NFIRS data were available at the NFIRS Representativeness Study submitted with this approval package was undertaken). In 1999, there were 11,067 departments reporting fires to NFIRS and in 2009, there were 20,421 departments reporting fires.
