SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Public
Law 93–498 provides for the gathering
and analyzing of data as deemed useful
and applicable for fire departments. The
U.S. Fire Administration (USFA)
receives many requests from fire service
organizations and the general public for
information related to fire departments,
including total number of departments,
number of stations per department,
population protected, and number of
firefighters. The USFA also has a need
for this information to guide
programmatic decisions, and produce
mailing lists for USFA publications.
Recommendations for the creation of the
fire department census database came
out of a Blue Ribbon Panel’s review of
the USFA. The report included a review
of the structure, mission, and funding of
the USFA, future policies, programmatic
needs, course development and
delivery, and the role of the USFA to
reflect changes in the fire service. As a
result of those recommendations, the
USFA is working to identify all fire
departments in the United States to
develop a database that will include
information related to demographics,
capabilities, and activities of fire
departments Nationwide. In the fall of
2016, the USFA renamed the census to
the National Fire Department Registry.
In the fall of 2001, information was
collected from 16,000 fire departments.
Since the first year of the collection, an
additional 11,217 departments have
registered for a total of 27,217 fire
departments. This leaves an estimated
2,780 departments still to respond.
Additionally, about 5,440 current
registered departments are contacted by
USFA each year and are asked to
provide updates to any previously
submitted information.
