Data Systems and Fire Casualty Information
Four fire related data systems are described in terms of their inputs and outputs. Each contains information which has been collected from all over the United States and that is or will be computerized. All the systems are maintained by Federal Government agencies. The National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) was developed by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The National Fire Prevention and Control Administration is developing a National Fire Data System which will incorporate fire data from sources such as the National Center for Health Statistics, fire incident reports and a national household fire survey. The flammable fabrics accident case and testing system and the plastics fire accident case and testing system were developed at the National Bureau of Standards in order to study, in-depth, fabric and plastics fire accidents. One possible conceptual framework for analyzing fire data is briefly discussed.
