Louisiana Fire Incident Reporting System (LFIRS)

---

A Part of the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS)

This section of the Louisiana State Fire Marshal's office collects and maintains data submitted from Louisiana fire departments and compiles statistics on all incidents to which a fire department responds in an effort to determine the impact of these incidents, especially fire incidents, on the lives of our citizens and property in Louisiana. LFIRS (NFIRS) is the program through which this data is collected.

In addition, by collecting data on both fire and non-fire response efforts of our fire departments, we can identify personnel, equipment, and training needs of our fire service and document the full impact our fire service has in our communities.

The LFIRS State Program Manager is William Parker. If you have questions or need assistance regarding LFIRS reporting, please contact William at:

Note: For help in understanding The Monthly Incident Count reports, please view the attached explanation by clicking on the image below:

The Monthly Incident Count reports show ALL departments deemed "active" in the NFIRS/LFIRS database whether or not the department is participating. To be considered participating/reporting consistently, a department should show a count in at least one category for each month of the year.

Should your department experience a month in which there were no response calls, a "No Activity" report must be recorded for that month. Refer to question 6 on the FAQ page or contact the LFIRS State Program Manager for assistance.
