NFIRS 5.0 Module ‘Personnel’

Description: The ‘Personnel Module’ is an optional department use module. Departments should chose to use either the ‘Apparatus Module’ or the ‘Personnel Module’, but not both (since the ‘Personnel’ Module' contains all the information in the ‘Apparatus Module’ and more.)

This module is optional and ‘department use’; meaning not used by FEMA NFIRS reports.

If selected for use (and see it is optional), departments should chose to use either the ‘Apparatus Module’ or the ‘Personnel Module’, but not both (since the ‘Personnel’ Module' contains all the information in the ‘Apparatus Module’ and more.)
