The NFDC is responsible for collecting, analyzing, publishing, and disseminating fire and emergency incident data to support evidence-based fire prevention, resource allocation, and policy decisions at federal, state, and local levels. The National Fire Data Training Corps (NFDTC) is a USFA/NFDC initiative to build national data literacy competency across the American fire service workforce, from entry-level firefighters through executive fire officers. 1.2 Enabling Legislation 1.2.1 Fire Prevention and Control Act of 1974 (Primary Enabling Statute) The Fire Prevention and Control Act of 1974 (15 U.S.C. §§ 2201 et seq.) establishes the foundational authority for USFA operations: 15 U.S.C. § 2201 — Congressional Findings: Congress found that fire is a serious national problem requiring federal investment in fire data, research, and professional training. 15 U.S.C. § 2204 — Establishment of USFA: Establishes USFA within FEMA, authorizing USFA to provide national leadership in fire protection. 15 U.S.C. § 2206 — National Fire Academy: Authorizes NFA to develop curricula and deliver training to fire service professionals, including through contracts with organizations and individuals. …
