NERIS reporting, state by state
NERIS replaced NFIRS as the federal fire incident reporting standard on February 1, 2026. The transition is national, but the shape of the problem is not: a state of small volunteer companies and a state of large career departments are solving different versions of it.
The NERIS public department directory lists 30,731 fire departments across 53 states and territories. Of the 25,524 that report a department type, 17,777 are volunteer and 4,841 are combination.
Counts are of fire departments in the country, from the directory as of October 8, 2026, not counts of anything to do with us.
