RFI Fire Investigation Reporting Management System

Office of Fire Prevention and Control (OFPC) is seeking information regarding potential solutions for a Fire Investigation Reporting Management System environment to be utilized by OFPC’s Fire Investigations Branch. OFPC conducts, supports, and coordinates fire investigations throughout New York State. These investigations may involve complex incidents with multiple investigators, collaborating agencies, diagrams, interviews, laboratory findings, and other forms of extensive investigative documentation. The resulting investigative records must be accurate, secure, complete, and capable of supporting administrative, regulatory, civil, and criminal proceedings. OFPC is evaluating opportunities regarding commercially available fire investigation report writing and case management systems capable of supporting the full investigative case lifecycle. The contemplated system would provide the capacity and capability to effectively collect, preserve, organize, retrieve, manage, and share (when authorized) digital investigative reports in a manner meeting OFPC’s current and future needs as collection platforms, applications, and processes continue to evolve.
