Incident Recording System (IRS)

The Incident Recording System (IRS) is a national project led by the Department for Communities and Local Government and forms parts of the Fire and Rescue Service Improvement Programme. With the active engagement of Fire and Rescue Services (FRSs) and other stakeholders this project will enable the data on all incidents attended by the UK Fire and Rescue Service to be collected electronically and verified at source, improving on the timeliness and accuracy of the current manual collection.  This will replace the current collection of FDR1 Forms, FDR3 Forms, OPS 4 and OPS 5.
