AS 2577.1-1992

Describes the subjects about which information is to be reported and discusses methods of implementation of the reporting system. The Australian fire incident reporting system (AFIRS) is broadly compatible with both the US national fire incident reporting system (NFIRS) and the New Zealand fire incident reporting system.

This Standard describes the Australian fire incident reporting system (AFIRS) and its implementation. It explains and defines the subjects about which incident-related information is collected and discusses the classification of information, methods of collection, processing and coding procedures, and operational guidelines.The requirements of this Standard are the minimal requirements at various levels of implementation for national use but this does not preclude the collection of additional data required by any user organization. AS 2577.2 sets out the classification system and coding.
