Volunteer firefighter created solutions for forward-thinking volunteer fire departments.
If you find time for nothing else, shut down NFIRS in January.
|
NERIS is here, but since NERIS is the future, NERIS can wait a bit (state willing.) Your NFIRS needs to be squared away this month, and that might be all you can manage this month. It's always tricky to complete past reports, but this year we only have January to get it all done. Further, you'll want more time to export your NFIRS so you have a copy after it closes down. Responserack can help you, if you need a tool to make it easer.
P.S. Sorry for the repetition on this deadline, but it needed repeating. Please share with your neighbors, but I'll limit the NFIRS talk after this, back to nothing but NERIS. |
