Abstract
In June 1970, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) signed a contract with the Department of Housing and Urban Development to implement a local reporting system in six communities in one area of the U.S. This project would test the feasibility of using NFPA's "Coding System for Fire Reporting" as a basis of this system. The first task of the project involved the selection of the communities to participate in the pilot study. The report describes the steps taken to accomplish this first task.
