NFIRS Compliance and Statistics
State statutes, specifically 425 ILCS 25/6 of the Fire Investigation Act, requires the Fire Chief of each department to submit reports of all activity to our office. In order to be NFIRS compliant, departments must complete all incident reports or "No Activity" Reports (if the department had no fire incidents that month). Departments are required to submit their monthly incidents by the 15th of following month.
Data quality verification will be implemented on all incidents that contain a response time of over 30 minutes, any invalid incidents, incidents with a dollar loss of over one million dollars, and all incidents with a civilian or fire service casualty.
