NFIRS 5.0 Element: ‘Fire Origin (Story #)’

Définition : Identifies the story where the fire originated within the building.
 
Purpose : The story of fire origin, combined with other structural characteristics, is helpful for gaining a better understanding of fire behavior and identifying any special problems in fire strategy and tactics. Information on the frequency and nature of above- or below-grade-level fires is needed for assessing aerial apparatus needs and performance. A fire in the upper levels of a high-rise building is often difficult to control because of delays in moving personnel and equipment to the fire floor.
Entry : Enter the story of fire origin. If below grade level, check or mark the Below Grade box. Checking or marking the Below Grade box has the effect of entering a negative number in NFIRS 5.0.
