What if I use a different third party software?
Departments using third party software ( i.e. Emergency Reporting, Fire House, Fire Programs..) for NFIRS reporting may continue by following exporting instructions provided by OSFM. You must send the reports to the NC Fire and Rescue Commission via email to NCDOI.OSFMNFIRS@ncdoi.gov.
Departments who are using the USFA Data Entry - Online Reporting Tools must to switch to the Image Trend Elite software.
The Administrative Code requires all departments be NFIRS compliant to pass the fire department ratings inspection. All reports are to be submitted quarterly to meet the 120-day state submission rule as per 11 NCAC 05A.0910 Incident Reporting.
Failure to comply will result in probation for a period of time.
Further non compliance can result in the department failing their ratings inspection.
