Formerly called the National Fire Department Census.
Established in 2001 by the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA).
Provides a current directory of registered fire departments.
Includes basic information, such as address, department
type, number of personnel, number of stations, etc.
The purpose of the registry is to create a national
database for use by the fire service and its stakeholders.
Over 27,000 fire departments are registered.
