These graphs and maps are based on 2008 calendar year data and only reflect those incidents that have been reported by participating states as of October 4, 2009. Since some states submit either partial annual data or the entirety of their annual data after the end of the calendar year, no conclusions about levels of participation can or should be drawn from these status charts.
As of the most current, complete data year (2008), all states are participating in NFIRS. The District of Columbia is not a participant.
