NFIRS 5.0 Element: ‘Mixed Use’
Definition : This data element captures the overall use of a property. If a property has two or more uses, then the Mixed Use Property designation applies.
Purpose : Documenting an incident that occurs on a property with more than one use is important to better identify the overall or main use of the property in which emergency incidents occur. Knowing the overall property use allows for better analysis of incident causes and targeting of prevention strategies. It also is important information for use in code development and enforcement as well as for inspection activities.
Entry : If the property is of mixed use, check or mark the box best describing the overall use of the property where the incident occurred. Check or mark the appropriate box even if the incident did not involve the entire complex (for example, a single store in a row of stores). If it is not a mixed use property, check or mark the Not mixed box.
