COLLEGE STATION FIRE DEPARTMENT<br />

SUBJECT: Release of Fire/EMS Records POLICY: 100.8.10<br />

CATEGORY: Records Management PAGE: 1 of 1<br />

APPROVED BY:<br />

Chief, Fire Department DATE: 11/02<br />

The City of College Station Fire Department compiles information on <strong>fire</strong> incidents and emergency<br />

medical services through a systemized report form in accordance to local, state, and federal<br />

regulation. Public requests for <strong>fire</strong> and ems records are routed through either the <strong>fire</strong><br />

administration personnel, the city legal <strong>department</strong>, the city secretary’s office, or the accounting<br />

<strong>department</strong> (the official records manager of ems files).<br />

In order to comply with all public information requests pertaining to <strong>fire</strong> and ems reports, it is<br />

necessary all reports be filed in a timely manner.<br />

Allowing for correct data entry, for the most part Fire Reports and Emergency Medical Service<br />

Reports will be available for their appropriate release after a minimum period of 72 hours.<br />

Certain reports may require further investigation and will not be available for release<br />

until a later time period. Proper notification through e-mail or written memo should be made to<br />

the administrative staff when a time period in excess of 72 hours will be needed for release of<br />

information.<br />
