Fire Incident Report Form PDF Details

In the event of a fire, it is important to have accurate information about what occurred. This information can help first responders as well as insurance companies determine the extent of the damage and what needs to be done in order to make repairs. A Fire Incident Report Form is a document that helps collect this information. The form can be used by homeowners, business owners, or anyone who has been affected by a fire. The form asks for details about the fire such as when it started and how long it burned, as well as the property damage caused by the fire. Having this information on hand can help speed up the claims process after a fire occurs.
