NFPA 901 guidelines enable fire departments and other fire protection organizations to more effectively report data.

NFPA 901, Standard Classifications for Fire and Emergency Services Incident Reporting, is aligned with the US Fire Administration (USFA) and the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) to help ensure the consistency of the requirements. Used by software developers and end users, NFPA 901 establishes a common language and definitions of elements and classifications used by fire departments throughout the United States and the world.

NFPA 901 addresses the following:

• Pre-incident environments, including the fire defense features of a structure
• Fire and other emergency incidents
• Post-incident damage assessments
• Fire service data

The 2021 edition of NFPA 901 has been almost entirely reworked. Tables have been consolidated, eliminated, or moved to the annexes to make the document more user-friendly. In addition, new chapters on fire investigation have been added to align NFPA 901 with NFPA 921, Guide for Fire and Explosion Investigations. Special attention has also been paid to the most current and up-to-date forms of reporting.

The standard also includes a classification system for data captured by automated databases, though it does not provide guidelines for reporting systems or related forms. (Print, 170 pp., 2021)
