Add NFIRS data

You can also record data for National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) in FH Medic.

1. (If you have not done so already) Add a new incident, or open an existing incident, as described in Add or edit an incident.

   By default, the Response tab and Incident Information sub-tab are selected.

2. Click the NFIRS sub-tab.

   Fields for specifying NFIRS data appear on the left side of the interface.

   

   Note: Through the FH Medic administration site, the FH Medic application can be highly configured to display or hide individual fields, require or not-require fields, and even change field labels. As a result, different fields may appear for you than what is shown in the screen shot.

   Information on using the FH Medic administration site to control the fields in the FH Medic application is available in the FH Medic Administrator's Guide .

3. Under NFIRS, enter data as described in Understand the interface and data entry in it.
