NFIRS Auto-Draft

Closing the CAD call generates the NFIRS draft. Officer reviews, edits, signs. State submission file generated. No double entry, no re-keying.

NERIS V1 ready CAD time pull Auto-populated State submission
What it does

The draft is already there when you open the report.

Closing a CAD call usually means a paramedic or officer sits down later and types every time, every unit, every address, every apparatus number into the NFIRS form. The data already exists in CAD. The data has to be re-keyed because the systems don't talk.

Watchroom's NFIRS draft is generated the moment you close the CAD call. Every CAD-known field is pre-populated. The officer fills in what only a human can — narrative, cause, exposures — then reviews, signs, and submits.

How it works

Three things that change.

Auto-populated from CAD Times (alarm, en route, on scene, last unit clear), location, FDID, units dispatched, apparatus, civilian casualty count — all from CAD.
All 11 NFIRS modules Basic, Fire, Structure, Civilian Casualty, Apparatus, Personnel, Arson, EMS, Hazmat, Wildland, Juvenile. Only the modules that apply surface for the incident type.
