NAC477.905. National Fire Incident Reporting System: Reporting requirements.

For the purposes of the National Fire Incident Reporting System to be put into effect throughout this State as required by NRS 477.030:

     1. All local fire jurisdictions in this State shall report to the State Fire Marshal such statistics and data required to publish a summary of fire incident information that is compatible with the National Fire Incident Reporting System. Any fire service within this State may obtain a copy of the annual report from the State Fire Marshal at no charge.

     2. The State Fire Marshal will report the statistics which he or she collects pursuant to this section to the National Fire Information Council semiannually. Because the State of Nevada has been designated as an “all-incident reporting state,” local fire jurisdictions shall report their statistics in a timely manner and in accordance with reporting deadlines established by the State Fire Marshal.

     3. A local fire jurisdiction that is facing technical difficulties in providing information pursuant to this section will receive assistance from the State Program Manager for the National Fire Incident Reporting System within the State Fire Marshal Division.

     4. A local fire jurisdiction may use computer-aided programs in reporting its information if the programs have been certified for such use by the National Fire Information Council.
