Closing the CAD call generates the NFIRS draft. Officer reviews, edits, signs. State submission file generated. No double entry, no re-keying.
What it does
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
Times (alarm, en route, on scene, last unit clear), location, FDID, units dispatched, apparatus, civilian casualty count — all from CAD.
Basic, Fire, Structure, Civilian Casualty, Apparatus, Personnel, Arson, EMS, Hazmat, Wildland, Juvenile. Only the modules that apply surface for the incident type.
Generate the .NFIRS file your state expects. NERIS V1 ready for the 2026 transition.
Integrations
No CSV exports. No batch jobs. No manual reconciliation. When something happens in one module, the others know.
NFIRS draft generated from the CAD close. All time-stamp data flows in automatically.
EMS-related incidents pull patient counts and triage data from the ePCR.
Occupancy data (FDID, NFIRS property use) pre-populates from the pre-plan.
Apparatus IDs, on-scene crew counts, and unit times come from the apparatus board.
