SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Commission on Fire
Prevention and Control conducted a
comprehensive study of the Nation’s fire
problem and recommended to Congress
actions to mitigate the fire problem,
reduce loss of life and property, and
educate the public on fire protection
and prevention. As a result of the study,
Congress enacted Public Law 93–498,
Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act
of 1974, which establishes the U.S. Fire
Administration (USFA) to administer
fire prevention and control programs,
supplement existing programs of
research, training, and education, and
encourage new and improved programs
and activities by state and local
governments. Section 9(a) of the Act
authorizes the USFA Administrator to
operate directly or through contracts or
grants an integrated, comprehensive
method to select, analyze, publish, and
disseminate information related to
prevention, occurrence, control, and
results of fires of all types. The National
Fire Incident Reporting Systems
(NFIRS) was established in the mid1970s and is mandated by the Federal
Fire Prevention and Control Act of 1974
which authorizes the National Fire Data
Center to gather and analyze
information such as: (1) the frequency,
causes, spread, and extinguishment of
fires; (2) injuries and deaths resulting
from fires; (3) information on injuries
sustained by a firefighter; and (4)
information on firefighting activities.
The act further authorizes USFA to
develop uniform data reporting
methods, and to encourage and assist
Federal, state, local and other agencies
in developing and reporting
