Background

Effective January 1, 2024, for data efficiency and analytical reasons, all Fire Departments will discontinue sending their NFIRS Reports to the NJ Division of Fire Safety, NFIRS Unit. All NFIRS Reporting in New Jersey will be sent directly to the United States Fire Administration eNFIRS data entry tool.

Those individuals responsible for sending NFIRS Reports in Fire Departments that have third party software vendors, will need to obtain a eNFIRS New User Account. This can be done by going to the NFIRS FEMA Login page.

See Attached bulletin from New Jersey Department of Community Affairs / Division of Fire Safety at the bottom of this page.
