You don’t have to start from scratch, either–the incident report form templates below already give you a framework that you can edit, covering damage assessment, cause and origin, and more. These allow you to add photos and signatures too.

How to create a fire incident report form in Lumiform

Creating a fire incident report form with Lumiform is fast and efficient, with pre-existing templates available. Using the app’s drag-and-drop form builder, you can come up with a form that captures all critical details, from timestamps to detailed descriptions.

With Lumiform, you’ll be able to streamline your fire incident documentation and boost accountability.


Frequently asked questions

What should I include in a fire incident report?

A fire incident report should detail the time, location, and cause of the fire (if known), along with any injuries or damages sustained. It’s important to include eyewitness accounts, photos, or sketches for a clear visual of the scene. Document any actions taken during and after the fire, such as evacuation or firefighting measures.

What’s the difference between an incident report and an action plan?

An incident report logs the details of a specific fire event—what happened, when, where, and the immediate consequences. An action plan, on the other hand, is proactive, outlining steps to respond to potential or ongoing fire scenarios. While the report captures past events, the action plan focuses on assigning tasks to manage future incidents effectively.

How can I use fire incident reports to improve fire safety protocols?

Fire incident reports are a valuable resource for identifying patterns, like recurring equipment failures or areas with higher risks. Use the data to update training programs, improve your evacuation procedures, or invest in better fire prevention systems. You can also share insights with your team to boost preparedness.
