NFIRS 5.0 Module ‘Apparatus (or Resources)’

Description : The Apparatus Module is used as a local option to identify apparatus sent to each incident. If the Apparatus Module is used, the Basic Module must also be completed.
When NFIRS Version 5.0 is implemented the local fire department must choose to use either the Apparatus Module or the Personnel Module depending on the level of detail needed by the department. The Personnel Module contains all data elements from the Apparatus Module plus additional data at the firefighter level.
