The BATS program is separate from the NFIRS database. Whereas the primary mission of NFIRS is to collect fire incident information, BATS is dedicated to documenting the “follow-up” investigation. According to the U.S. Fire Administration, NFIRS is “not intended to replace” an arson information management system such as BATS.
