27、ved NFPA 904 Incident Follow-up Report Guide 1996 Edition This edition of NFPA 904, Incident Follow-up Report Guide, was prepared by the Technical Committee on Fire Reporting, and acted on by the National Fire Protection Association, Inc., at its Annual Meeting held May 2023, 1996, in Boston, MA. It

28、 was issued by the Standards Council on July 18, 1996, with an effective date of August 9, 1996, and supersedes all previous editions. This edition of NFPA 904 was approved as an American National Standard on July 26, 1996. Origin and Development of NFPA 904 This guide was developed to encourage the

29、 collection of data beyond the basic system as described in NFPA 902M, Fire Reporting Field Incident Manual, on fires that are significant in terms of their magnitude, associated casualties, or other impact on the community. It was not intended to present a comprehensive fire investigation reporting

30、 form. The original edition of this guide was published in 1981 with the text reconfirmed in 1986 and 1992. In preparation for this edition, the committee reviewed the data that it was suggest- ing be collected. The review included how useful the data was and how accurately it could be collected. A

31、number of data elements were dropped or modified, while others that previously required the data to be classified after being recorded were changed to a direct entry format.

41、ormation on referenced publications can be found in Appendix A. Introduction In order to provide insight into the causes and conse- quences of fires or other incidents, the fire service prepares incident reports, performs prefire surveys, and conducts fol- low-ups to provide additional information.

42、The criteria for when such follow-ups should be conducted are determined locally. In general, such follow-ups are conducted for fires of suspicious origin, those resulting in loss of life, and those involving large property loss. The recording of follow-up data on fire incidents and the necessary up

43、date of fire incident data on initial incident reports is a natural next step in the process of uniform report- ing of fire incidents. This guide provides a standardized form for the collection of fire incident follow-up data and an expla- nation of the use of the form. This guide contains appropria

44、te references to NFPA 901, Standard Classifications for Incident Reporting and Fire Protection Data, for use by personnel responsible for classifying data. All references cite the 1995 edition of NFPA 901. A review of the discussion, terminology, definitions, and classifications in NFPA 901 can impr

45、ove the quality of the reports. Data can be compiled from the forms either by hand or by using electronic data processing. In either case, this data sup- plements the data from property surveys, incident reports, and casualty reports to support fire prevention activities, code enforcement, planning,

46、 data analysis, and administrative func- tions. General Applications This guide contains instructions for the completion of the Incident Follow-up Report, Form 904I. It is intended that Form 904I be used to record data from follow-ups. It is assumed that an incident report is already on file for eac

47、h inci- dent for which a follow-up investigation has been conducted. There are three main purposes for Form 904I: 1. To document some of the findings of the follow-up; for example, to provide characterization of the second item involved in the fire sequence. 2. To provide the basis for revision to o

48、r augmentation of the data reported on the incident report , or both, if the information from the follow-up is more accurate. It should not be assumed that follow-up information is more accurate than the information on the original report, but, in the event of conflicting information, the local juri

49、sdiction then has the option of accepting one opinion or both opinions. 3. To provide additional details on special situations such as fires of incendiary or suspicious origin. It is important to note that the follow-up is likely to produce more information than can be recorded conveniently on Form 904I. As with any fire incident report, the narrative por- tion constitutes an important part of the record. Where a data element has an associa
