Firefighters generate valuable data on every call, gaining insight to their community and the people they serve, but it rarely impacts leadership and decision-making because of its inaccessibility and lack of modernization. NERIS is changing that by making data accessible and actionable, helping fire departments improve response strategies, enhance firefighter safety, and secure better funding with solid evidence. In a world where data drives everything, fire departments that use their information wisely will be stronger, safer, and better prepared for the future. Key Questions: Are you treating your department’s data as an asset or letting it go to waste? Does your department view data as the currency to obtain resources? Are you using data to make informed decisions in your agency?
