NFIRS Sunsetting January 2026
The National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) has
served as the nation’s primary system for collecting fire incident data since
it was established in 1975, but unfortunately it can no longer support the
needs of the United States fire service.
Starting in 2025 all fire departments will be transferred
over to the new National Emergency Response Information System (NERIS) for
fire-based, all-hazards incident reporting and data analytics for the fire
service. NFIRS will sunset in January 2026 and will no longer be available by
anyone. Provided below are key points and dates in the NFIRS sunset and
transition to NERIS for fire-based, all-hazards incident reporting and
analytics:
2025 is a hybrid reporting year.
- 2025
incidents can be submitted to either NFIRS or NERIS.
- Once
a fire department onboards onto NERIS and starts
reporting incidents, they can stop reporting into NFIRS.
- Export
your fire department incidents to comply with your retention requirements
- If
your department is already storing incident data in a local system
consistent with your records retention policy, you should already have
the incident data/NFIRS data your department needs.
- If
your department is not already storing incident data in a local RMS or
storage system consistent with your records retention policy, you will
need to establish a storage location and begin exporting your data from
eNFIRS for local storage and retention before the deadline. You should be
doing this now, rather than waiting and discovering problems when NFIRS
staff is to busy to help you.
2026 incident reporting will only be in NERIS.
- Starting
Jan. 1, 2026, incident data submission will be exclusively in NERIS.
- No
calendar year (CY) 2026 incidents will be submitted into NFIRS.
- Jan.
31, 2026: end date for edits/modifications for CY25 incident records in
NFIRS.
- NFIRS
will be unavailable for all users starting in February 2026.
NERIS Onboarding for Nevada is in November 2025
OnboardingInformation | NERIS
We have reached out to all current users in the NFIRS system. If you did not receive anything from us, then we do not have your information. Please provided one or two points of contact for
your department to sfm@dps.state.nv.us. Accounts are being pre-set up in NERIS and the provided email
addresses will be sent login information in November 2025 from the NERIS team.
Once logged in, users will be able to provide and/or confirm
information about the department and manage users.
Reporting can be done via direct entry or through an
integration partner (third-party reporting system).
Integration Partners
IntegrationPartners | NERIS
NERIS has identified software vendors whose products meet
the technical standards necessary to integrate with the
system. Integration Partners have confirmed their software products meet
specific technical standards for API compatibility.
If departments use an Integration Partner, a link can be
created within NERIS to the third party. Reporting incidents in the third-party
system will automatically be copied into NERIS without needing to export on a
monthly or quarterly basis and email to our office.
The list will be updated as more vendors are awarded the
compatibility badge.
