- Abstract
- At the National Bureau of Standards, we have been working toward the establishment of a National Fire Data System (NFDS). This article will discuss the steps that we have taken to develop it. It will describe the major policy requirements established for the system, and the system itself; it will then present a report on the current status, and plans for the future.
