Fire Incidents
On 1/1/2026, the Federal Government changed reporting requirements from the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) to the National Emergency Response Information System (NERIS). This was a fundamental change in data elements and there is no direct crosswalk between all fields. Due to this change, this dataset will be deprecated and a new dataset will replace it in the near future. Please see the following dataset for some limited continuity across the time periods:
Fire Department and Emergency Medical Services Dispatched Calls for Service
Note 3/27/2024: This data pipeline was recently updated to improve data quality and efficiency. Incidents outside of SF city boundaries will no longer be assigned a supervisor_district and neighborhood_district.
Fire Incidents includes a summary of each (non-medical) incident to which the SF Fire Department responded. Each incident record includes the call number, incident number, address, number and type of each unit responding, call type (as determined by dispatch), prime situation (field observation), actions taken, and property loss.
To obtain a fire incident or fire investigation report, please fill out & return a completed fire report request form from the San Francisco Fire Department's website.
