NERIS Transition Assistant

Your Officers Carry the NERIS Burden. Station Draft Carries the Draft.

NERIS replaced NFIRS in 2026. Every incident now demands a more complex report — and officers are absorbing that complexity alone. Station Draft turns a short narrative into a NERIS-aware draft with confidence flags, so your officer reviews instead of battles the form.

The NERIS Transition Problem

NERIS Modernizes the Data. Officers Still Carry the Weight.

The shift from NFIRS to NERIS is the right move for the fire service. But the complexity of the new data model — expanded fields, unfamiliar schemas, module-specific requirements — landed entirely on frontline officers already stretched thin after every call.

A Fundamentally New Data Model

NERIS uses Entity, Dispatch, and Incident schemas with module-specific fields for Fire, EMS, HazMat, and other incident types. NFIRS muscle memory doesn't transfer.

Expanded Field Requirements

Minimum Essential Information per incident now requires more specific data points, more module awareness, and more decisions per report than NFIRS ever did.

Unfamiliar Terminology at Every Turn

Officers who knew NFIRS codes fluently are starting over. New terminology, new structure, new expectations — with no reduction in operational workload.

The Station Draft Workflow

Four Steps. One Reviewed Draft. Your Existing RMS Handles the Rest.

Paste a Short Narrative

3–8 sentences from the officer. What happened, what you found, what you did. Optional dispatch summary. No login, no integrations, no structured input required.

Get a NERIS-Aware Draft

Station Draft maps the narrative to the NERIS Incident Schema — incident type, property use, actions taken, and minimum essential information — with a confidence flag on every field.

Answer Only What's Unclear

When confidence is low, Station Draft asks one targeted question. Not thirty fields. Not a new form. One question, then back to the draft.

Export and Submit Through Your RMS

Export as PDF and structured data. Upload or paste into ESO, ImageTrend, or your RMS. Your officer submits. Human review required. Nothing is ever submitted automatically.

How Station Draft Signals Uncertainty

Confidence Flags: Every Field Is Rated, Not Just Filled

Most reporting tools fill fields and move on. Station Draft flags every field with a confidence level — so your officer knows exactly what to verify, what looks right, and what’s missing before they submit.

High

High Confidence

The narrative contained clear, mappable information for this field. Station Draft populated it with high confidence. Officer should verify and confirm.

Incident Type: 111 - Structure Fire ● High

Review

Needs Review

Station Draft inferred this field from context but is not certain. Officer must review and either confirm or correct before submission.

Alarm Time: 14:32 — from narrative ◐ Review

Missing

Not Found

The narrative did not contain enough information to populate this field. Officer must supply the value. Station Draft will ask a single follow-up question if it can narrow the answer.

Detector Performance: Not mentioned ○ Missing

Confidence flags appear on every field in every draft. Nothing is silently assumed.

NERIS Module Coverage

Covers the Incidents Your Department Runs

Station Draft maps to the NERIS Incident Schema modules — fire, EMS/medical, HazMat, and other incident types. Every draft addresses the minimum essential information for that module.

Structure & Building Fires

Incident type classification, fire spread, suppression actions, property use, detector performance, casualty data

NERIS Fire Module

EMS / Medical Incidents

Patient disposition, procedures, response type, EMS module fields, aid given, medical protocols referenced

NERIS EMS Module

Hazardous Materials

Material identification, container type, release type, actions taken, decontamination, evacuation

NERIS HazMat Module

Vehicle, Wildland & Other

Vehicle fires, wildland/brush, alarm response, service calls, and other incident types per the NERIS schema

NERIS Other Module

Coverage expands as the pilot progresses. Current v0.1 focus: structure fire and EMS. See known limitations below.

No Integration Drama

Works Alongside the RMS You Already Use

Station Draft is not an RMS. It produces export-ready drafts that go into your existing workflow. No API integration required. No vendor negotiation. No IT project.

ESO

Export the Station Draft PDF and structured data. Upload or paste into your ESO incident record. Submit through ESO's NERIS workflow as you do today.

ImageTrend

Same export workflow. Station Draft output is formatted for easy transfer into ImageTrend Elite or Edge incident records.

Other RMS

Using a different system? The PDF export works with any RMS. The structured data export is RMS-agnostic by design.

Pilot Program — In Progress

Real Departments. Real Incidents. Measuring What Matters.

Station Draft is currently running a limited pilot with fire and EMS departments actively transitioning to NERIS. We are measuring actual report completion time reduction on real incident data.

Report completion time

Before and after, per incident type

Confidence flag accuracy

Officer corrections per draft

Department types represented

Volunteer, combination, career

Results from this pilot will be published here as they are available. We do not publish claims before we have data to support them.

Known Limitations

What Station Draft Can’t Do (And Won’t Pretend It Can)

We ship a limitations section on the homepage by design. A tool honest about its limits earns more trust than one that isn’t.

v0.1 coverage is focused on structure fire and EMS incidents. HazMat and wildland modules are in development.
Station Draft does not auto-submit to NERIS. This is intentional, not a limitation.
CAD data integration is not available in v1. Narratives are the only input method.
Station Draft cannot guarantee 100% NERIS compliance. Officer review is required before every submission.
The pilot is limited in size. Not every applicant will be accepted immediately.
Station Draft is not affiliated with USFA, FSRI, or any RMS vendor and cannot make commitments on their behalf.

Common Questions

No. Station Draft is a draft assistant, not an RMS. It produces export-ready drafts. Your department continues to submit through your existing RMS workflow, unchanged.

No. Draft-first means exactly that — a draft, for your officer to review. Nothing is submitted without explicit human approval. This is by design, not a limitation.

It means Station Draft generates a draft incident report from a narrative. Your officer reviews the draft, confirms or corrects flagged fields, and then submits through your existing RMS workflow. Station Draft never touches the submission.

For the pilot, we recommend using de-identified narratives where possible. Minimize specific addresses, patient details, and officer names in the input narrative.

Fire and EMS departments actively transitioning to NERIS or planning to do so within the next 6–12 months. Volunteer, combination, and career departments of all sizes are eligible.

Narratives submitted during the pilot are used to generate drafts and improve the model. We do not share narrative content with third parties. Full details in our privacy policy.
