CSI InfoShare^® Fire RMS Achieves NERIS v1 Compliance, Delivering a No-Cost Transition for All Clients

CSI InfoShare^® Achieves Full NERIS v1 Compliance

CSI Technology Group’s InfoShare^® Fire RMS is now fully compliant with the National Emergency Response Information System (NERIS) v1 standard, ensuring that fire departments can meet the latest federal reporting requirements without disruption. This compliance reflects CSI’s continued investment in modern, interoperable public safety technology and delivers a future-ready reporting framework built directly into the existing InfoShare^® platform. By aligning our data model, validation rules, and workflows with NERIS v1, we provide agencies with a seamless, compliant reporting experience that strengthens data accuracy, enhances interoperability across systems, and supports the broader national shift toward more meaningful fire service analytics.

Supporting a National Shift to Modern Fire Reporting Standards

As the fire service prepares for the nationwide transition from the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) to the National Emergency Response Information System (NERIS), CSI Technology Group has completed full compliance with NERIS v1 for the InfoShare^® Fire Records Management System (RMS). This upgrade positions our InfoShare^® Fire RMS platform to meet all federal reporting requirements while preserving the reliability, ease of use, and operational continuity that departments expect from CSI.

Importantly, CSI is delivering this transition at no additional cost to our existing InfoShare^® Fire RMS clients, reinforcing our long-standing commitment to partnership, stability, and agency readiness.

What NERIS Means for the Fire Service

NERIS v1 represents the most substantial modernization of national fire incident reporting in decades. Designed to replace NFIRS starting in 2026, NERIS introduces a flexible, analytics-driven data structure that reflects the realities of today’s emergency response environment. It enables a deeper understanding of incident activity, enhances interoperability, and supports more meaningful decision-making at the agency, regional, and federal levels.

The transition, however, poses operational challenges for many departments, particularly as they navigate evolving requirements and prepare their systems for new validation rules, workflows, and data structures.

CSI recognizes these challenges and has approached NERIS adoption with the same deliberate, client-centered strategy that has guided our public safety technology work for more than 30 years.

What Fire Departments Can Expect from CSI’s Transition

CSI has worked to ensure that the migration from NFIRS to NERIS is grounded in clarity, technical precision, and ongoing support.

• Full NERIS v1 Compliance Built Into InfoShare^® Fire RMS
  All required NERIS fields, rules, and structures are natively supported. Agencies can collect and submit federally compliant data without changing platforms.
• No New Training or Implementation Fees
  Clients receive complimentary training sessions, workflow guidance, and training resources at no charge. Our account managers and engineers remain closely engaged throughout the transition.
• Validated Mapping and Data Integrity
  CSI’s engineering team has aligned NFIRS logic to the new NERIS data model, ensuring clean submissions and eliminating common migration issues.
• Ongoing Support as NERIS Evolves
  NERIS will expand through future versions. CSI will maintain compliance and deploy updates as part of our standard service package.
• Consistent Reporting Across Multi-Agency Regions
  Regional projects, such as Rhode Island’s statewide CAD/RMS initiative and Hunterdon County’s multi-department deployment, benefit from a unified reporting model across jurisdictions.

Strengthening the Fire Service Through Modernized Data

NERIS introduces a meaningful opportunity for agencies to elevate their operational awareness. By providing a compliant system at no cost, CSI ensures departments can take full advantage of this new reporting standard while avoiding unnecessary financial or administrative burden.

Our Fire RMS platform continues to deliver:

• Accurate incident capture
• Integrated CAD, MDT, and Fire RMS workflows
• Flexible inspection and permitting capabilities
• Advanced analytics and configurable dashboards
• Seamless data sharing across public safety disciplines

A Long-Term, Client-First Commitment

For more than three decades, CSI Technology Group has designed software that adapts as public safety evolves. The national shift to NERIS is an important chapter in that evolution, and CSI is committed to ensuring every Fire RMS client makes this transition confidently and cost-free.

As national standards modernize, our promise remains unchanged: CSI builds technology that supports the mission, protects agency investment, and strengthens community safety.
