Introduction FIRE IN NEW JERSEY 2008 is a statistical analysis of fire and emergency incidents in New Jersey. The data collected and used in the formulation of this report comes from the fire departments throughout New Jersey that participate in the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS). Fire service personnel enter incident data into their fire department computer-based NFIRS database and, on a monthly basis, submit their data to the Division of Fire Safety. The Division receives the fire department data, processes it into the State NFIRS database and forwards the data to the Federal NFIRS database. We would like to thank the members of the participating fire departments. This report would not be possible without incident data. NFIRS Background The Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-948) authorized the National Fire Data Center in the United States Fire Administration (USFA) to gather and analyze information on the frequency, causes, spread, and extinguishment of fires, and on the number, nature and causes of injuries and deaths resulting from fires and on property loss. Fire Incident Reporting in New Jersey The data used in this report were provided by fire departments that participate in the NFIRS. The statutes that created the Division of Fire Safety call for the Division to administer a fire incident reporting system in accordance with N.J.S.A. 52:27D-25d.(d.). To encourage participation, the Division of Fire Safety provides reference materials, incident field notes, and training to fire departments. The incident data that fire departments submit to the Division is forwarded to the National Fire Data Center at the United States Fire Administration. The Division began implementation of NFIRS 5 in 1999 and all of the data used in this report is from NFIRS 5. NFIRS 5 is an all-incident based reporting system that captures the many different types of incidents to which fire departments respond. Please see pages 165 to 171 for a complete list of incident types.

Note: 28 fire departments submitted less than six months of data. 44 fire departments did not submit any data.

The number of fire departments in the state differs from 2007 due to the merging of

several departments:
