Essential Data Solutions (EDS) New Administrator of Fire Service Activity Survey

Essential Data Solutions (EDS) is now hosting the Fire Service Activity Survey, which was formerly hosted by FirePrograms.

To participate in the survey, copy your NFIRS uploads to uploads@EDSCENTRAL.NET. To avoid interruption of the service, FirePrograms will forward to EDS data files it receives. EDS, a new company owned by Arrakis Publishing, will handle the survey data and data processing in states that have an agreement with EDS.

For more information, visit the EDS Web site at www.edscentral.net. The latest survey results are also available on the Web site.
