    2. Choose how you'll file

      Enter reports in NERIS itself, which costs departments nothing, or use reporting software from one of NERIS's approved integration partners.

    About Iowa

    Departments in Iowa

    Iowa's fire departments run barely more than one station apiece, among the ones that report a station count. Whoever caught the call is very often the same person left to file the report on it.

    About grant applications

    AFG — the Assistance to Firefighters Grant — asks applicants to describe their calls and how the department runs day to day, same as it would for any department in the country. We haven't found anything that ties NERIS reporting to how those applications get scored, so this page won't claim one exists, and a vendor guessing at federal grant rules isn't worth listening to anyway. What holds up regardless: a department answering those questions from reports already on file is starting from a better position than one reconstructing a season of calls from memory while the application is open.

    We are a vendor, not a grant advisor. Read the current notice of funding opportunity or ask your state's grant coordinator.

    FireMic is a private company. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or recommended by any Iowa state agency, USFA, FSRI, or FEMA. State fire officials do not endorse vendors, and nothing on this page should be read as suggesting otherwise.
