Responserack provides this NFIRS Fire report example for Structure Fire with Fire Service Casualty. :
Entity | Reference |
---|---|
Basic | The ‘Basic Module’ is the base that everything else depends upon; it contains the transactions that any incident type could require, and that are mandatory. |
Fire | Provides report data for a fire incident. Can be supplemented with a wildland fire module or a structure fire module. |
Structure Fire | Provides supplementary report data to a fire module for a structure fire. |
Apparatus (or Resources) | |
Personnel | The ‘Personnel Module’ is an optional department use module. Departments should chose to use either the ‘Apparatus Module’ or the ‘Personnel Module’, but not both (since the ‘Personnel’ Module' contains all the information in the ‘Apparatus Module’ and more.) |
Fire Service Casualty | Provides report data for injuries and/or fatalities to Fire Service membership. This can include delayed injuries that manifest later (e.g. as a result of chemical or biological agents.) |
