Oregon NFIRS Information
The Office of State Fire Marshal incident reporting policy is based on National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) standards, which have two objectives: to help State and local governments develop fire reporting and analysis capability for their own use, and to obtain data that can be used to more accurately assess and subsequently combat the fire problem at a national level.
 
Since 1977, Oregon has submitted fire incident data to be included in the national database. The current version of NFIRS, version 5.0, was released in January 1999. This program enables Oregon to provide electronic information in the NFIRS 5 format.  All fire departments in Oregon are required to report fire and hazardous materials incidents based on the NFIRS 5 standards.

Oregon Fire & EMS Bridge®
The Oregon Fire & EMS Bridge® is a statewide internet-based incident reporting system and centralized data repository for Oregon fire department data. The Office of State Fire Marshal (OSFM) launched the Oregon Fire Bridge® on January 1, 2010, replacing a system that had become obsolete after 13 years of use. In November 2010, the OSFM partnered with Emergency Medical Services (EMS) & Trauma Systems to merge their reporting system with the OSFM system, which are both products of the same vendor. The combined system is called Oregon Fire & EMS Bridge® (OFEB). OFEB collects fire, ambulance, hazardous material, and youth fire intervention data.
 
The system not only has automated forms to record and report incident information, but also provides record-keeping and tracking of staff, equipment, inspections, pre-planning, activities, training, and compensation. In addition, the system allows users to generate reports to help individual fire departments and the OSFM evaluate operational areas, such as response time, fire causes, etc.
OFEB is provided free of charge to Oregon’s fire service.  All fire departments in Oregon have their own secure online accounts in OFEB, which they access via usernames and passwords provided to select staff members. The OSFM remains committed to providing reporting software free to Oregon’s fire agencies. OFEB is funded by the OSFM with dedicated Fire Insurance Premium Tax funds.
