The Illinois State Fire Marshal's Office (ISFMO) announced this week that fire departments across the state are beginning the transition to the new National Emergency Response Information System (NERIS)- a secure, cloud-based platform built to modernize how local emergency incidents are reported and analyzed.
The move to NERIS is part of a phased national rollout of the system by the U.S. Fire Administration, Department of Homeland Security, and the Fire Safety Research Institute.
NERIS is replacing the 40-year-old National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) and will provide Lawrence County and other local and area firefighting agencies with data tools, location-based analytics and flexible options for incident reporting----at no cost to departments.
The ISFMO says that all departments need to complete onboarding to NERIS as soon as possible to ensure a smooth transition. The existing NFIRS will be formally decommissioned on Thursday, January 1st, 2026.
