NFIRS 5.0 Element: ‘Fire Department Station’

Définition : The number or identifier of a particular fire station within a fire department. This is a local option.
 

Purpose : The station number provides a means of tracking incident data that have been collected and reported by individual stations. Specific feedback on incident experience can then be prepared and sent to individual stations. The station number is also useful for analyzing different levels of activity within a fire department.
 

Entry : Enter the station number in the space provided. The fire department should determine which station number should be entered (e.g., first arriving unit, station’s area). The station number is left justified. Leave blank if there is only one station in the department.
