Virginia Fire incident Reporting System (VFIRS)

The Virginia Department of Fire Programs maintains the Virginia Fire Incident Reporting System (VFIRS). VFIRS is the statewide system for tracking fire related emergencies. VFIRS has been designed as a tool for fire departments to report and maintain computerized records of fires and other fire department incidents in a uniform manner. By analyzing this data, we can see what causes fires and burns, determine if problems are getting better or worse and develop appropriate prevention plans.

VFIRS provides additional modules to meet the increasing diversity and demands of fire departments today. It has been designed to expand the collection of data beyond fires to include a full range of fire department activity. The recent addition of an Emergency Medical Services (EMS) module to the system along with the inclusion of Department Apparatus, Wildland and Personnel modules ensures greater usefulness of the system.

VFIRS will enable the Fire Service to examine trends on a local and state level. The resulting information is used to help reduce the needless loss of life and property by fire throughout the the Commonwealth of Virginia.
