NFIRS provides a mechanism using
standardized reporting methods to collect and analyze fire incident
data at the Federal, State, and local levels. Data analysis helps
local fire departments and States to focus on current problems,
predict future problems in their communities, and measure whether
their programs are working.

The annual burden hours has
