In particular, they detail \"False Alarm and False Calls\" and \"Rescue and Emergency Medical Service (EMS) Incidents\"\n\nNFIRS collects details on Fire, HazMat and EMS incidences nationwide, detailing the type of incident, where it occurred, the resources used to mitigate it and more, with a goal of understanding the nature and causes of the incidents. Information is also collected on the number of civilian or firefighter casualties and an estimate of property loss.\n\nParticipation in NFIRS is voluntary.  \n\nData is released yearly, with a considerable delay.\n\nEach Incidence is assigned a 3 digit Incidence Type Code.  The code describes the situation emergency personnel found when they arrived.  Incidence Types are grouped into larger categories, called Series.  \n\nFor example, Series 400, 'Hazardous Condition' category includes incidence types: 411, 'Gasoline or other flammable liquid spill; 412, 'Gas leak and 413, 'Oil or other combustible liquid spill '.\n\nNot every Incidence Type is included in the data.   In 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015, the NFIRS data releases contained these Series/Incidence Types:\n\n  Series 100: Fire Incidences,\n  Series 400: Hazardous Condition (No Fire),\n  Incidence Type 561: Unauthorized burning, under the 'Service Call' Series,\n  Incidence Type 631: Authorized Controlled Burning, under the 'Good Intent Call' series and\n  Incidence Type 632: Prescribed fires also under the 'Good Intent Call' series.\n\nThe 2014 and 2016 releases included these additional series:\n\n  200: Overpressure Rupture, Explosion, Overheat (No Fire), \n  300: Rescue and Emergency Medical Service (EMS) Incidents, \n  500: Service Calls, \n  600: Good Intent Call Series,\n  700: False Alarm and False Call,\n  800 Severe Weather and Natural Disaster\n  900: Special Incident Type.\n\nThe official NFIRS documentation has been attached to this dataset.\n\nThis dataset does not contain all the detail available in the NFIRS database.
