A Message from CAFC and CCFMFC

The National Fire Information Database (NFID) is a groundbreaking national fire data pilot project that will gather and unify 10 years of fire information from across the country and create Canada’s first national system for collecting fire statistics.

This project will link fire data with other relevant datasets, and will initiate the creation of new evidence-based research related to fire, public safety, and security.

The Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs (CAFC) and the Council of Canadian Fire Marshals and Fire Commissioners (CCFMFC) are collaborating on this project, supported by the Canadian Safety and Security Program (CSSP), a federal program led by Defence Research and Development Canada’s Centre for Security Science, in partnership with Public Safety Canada.
