    2. 3-2

    3. 3-3 Structure Fire Module Used to supplement Fire Module Required for all Incident types: 111 - 112 120 - 129 Maybe used for Incident types 113-118 Required for all structure fires that are not confined to their non-combustible containers.Required for all structure fires that are not confined to their non-combustible containers.

    4. 3-4 I1 - Structure Type ? Identifies a specific property type of a structure. Continue only if building was : 1. Enclosed 2. Portable/mobile structure being used as a fixed structure

    5. 3-5 I2 - Building Status ? Identifies the operational status of the building at the time of the incident. Occupied & Operating is now In Normal Use. Use Occupied and operating even if no one was in the building. Eg. Restaurant, school or warehouse that is closed at that time of the fires and no one is in the building. Still occupied and operating. Garages with no one in them. Idle, not routinely used includes seasonal properties or snack shacks/buildings that are used on a limited basis such as during (sporting) events. Furnishings are in place. Use Occupied and operating even if no one was in the building. Eg. Restaurant, school or warehouse that is closed at that time of the fires and no one is in the building. Still occupied and operating. Garages with no one in them. Idle, not routinely used includes seasonal properties or snack shacks/buildings that are used on a limited basis such as during (sporting) events. Furnishings are in place.

    6. 3-6 I3 - Building Height ? Identifies the total number of stories (floors) at or above grade level and the total number of stories below grade in the fire building. Do not count normally inaccessible attics, attics with less than standing height, or a roof as a story. A 2 story building is a 2 story building. Generally a story should have full standing height for an average individual. Only a full basement is a story (below ground). A 2 story building is a 2 story building. Generally a story should have full standing height for an average individual. Only a full basement is a story (below ground).

    7. 3-7 I4 - Main Floor Size ? Identifies the floor size - can use: total square feet length x width Main floor. This is only an estimate it does not need to be exact. System only allows one or the other to be input.Main floor. This is only an estimate it does not need to be exact. System only allows one or the other to be input.

    8. 3-8 J1 - Fire Origin ? Identifies the story (floor level) where the fire originated within the building. Identifies floor levels above or below grade.

    9. 3-9 J2 - Fire Spread ? Identifies the extent of flame damage within the structure. Flame damage is area actually burned or charred. Does not include heat, smoke, or water damage.

    10. 3-10 J3 - Stories Damaged by Flame Identifies the number of stories (floor levels) damaged by fire by percent of damage. Do not include damage from heat, smoke, or water damage. Only flame damage. You determine the percentage of damage for each floor. Each floor is recorded only once. The total number of stories in this section (J3) needs to be less than or equal to the Total number of stories for the entire building.Only flame damage. You determine the percentage of damage for each floor. Each floor is recorded only once. The total number of stories in this section (J3) needs to be less than or equal to the Total number of stories for the entire building.

    11. 3-11 K - Material Contributing Most to Flame Spread K1 identifies the item contributing most to flame spread, if different from the item first ignited. K2 identifies the type of material contributing most to flame spread, if different than the type of material first ignited.

    12. 3-12 L1 - Presence of Detectors ? Captures data on detectors if they were present in the general area of the fire. Required if the fire was within the area covered by the detector. If not, skip to Section M. Must match Detectors field (Section H) on Basic Module.Must match Detectors field (Section H) on Basic Module.

    13. 3-13 L2 - Detector Type Identifies the type of fire detection system that was present in the area of fire origin.

    14. 3-14 L3 - Detector Power Supply Identifies the type of power supplying the detector.

    15. 3-15 L4 - Detector Operation This data element identifies whether or not the detection equipment worked. Must match Detector field (Section H) on Basic Module.Must match Detector field (Section H) on Basic Module.

    16. 3-16 L5 - Detector Effectiveness Identifies the effectiveness of the fire detection equipment in alerting the occupants. Required if the detector operated. Must match Detector field (Section H) on Basic Module.Must match Detector field (Section H) on Basic Module.

    17. 3-17 L6 - Reason for Detector Failure Identifies why the detector failed to operate or did not operate properly. Required if the detector failed to operate. Please take the time to answer this question to the best of your knowledge. We are now taking a serious look why detectors fail.Please take the time to answer this question to the best of your knowledge. We are now taking a serious look why detectors fail.

    18. 3-18 M1- Presence of Automatic Extinguishment System Identifies the presence of automatic extinguishment system (AES). If AES is present or partially present complete the rest of Section M.

    19. 3-19 M2 - Type of Automatic Extinguishment System Identifies the type of AES that was present in the area of fire origin.

    20. 3-20 M3 - Automatic Extinguishment System Operation Identifies the operation and effectiveness of AES in the area of fire origin.

    21. 3-21 M4 - Number of Sprinkler Heads Operating Identifies the number of sprinkler heads that operated during the fire If very large building a guesstimate will do. If very large building a guesstimate will do.

    22. 3-22 M5 - Automatic Extinguishment System Failure Identifies the reason why the AES failed to operate. Required if the detector failed to operate or did not operate properly. Required if the system failed to operate or did not operate properly. The Office of the State Fire Marshal is going to be following up on reports. They want to be able to identify contractors who are not installing them correctly. Or go after owners who are shutting them down. Or go after owners who are not maintaining the system. Or see when renovations have been completed and the original (or old) system is no longer adequate to protect the new environment. This field is especially important with the new nightclub law requiring sprinklers with occupancies of 100+. Have to be able to defend sprinklers (AES) to the general public.

    23. 3-23 Summary The Structure Fire Module (NFIRS 3) is used in conjunction with the Fire Module to gather information about larger fire incidents which involve buildings The Structure Fire Module clarifies information about: the buildings involved in the fire how the fire started detection and automatic suppression equipment
