To request a copy of a fire report, please fill out this
online form.
There are two types of reports that may be available following a fire department response to an incident; Fire Incident Report and Fire Investigation Report.
The Fire Incident Report is completed by fire/rescue personnel to document a fire/rescue response.
When a Fire Investigator is called to an incident to determine the origin and cause of a fire, the investigator will complete a Fire Investigation Report. A Frederick County Fire Investigator does not respond to all fires, therefore, there may be only a Fire Incident Report available. There are times when a fire investigation report will not be released. These time are::
- Pending Criminal Prosecution
- Active Investigation
- Sensitive nature of the Investigation
- Juvenile record
- Identifying confidential informant information
Currently, there is no charge for fire reports and they will be released within 30 days of the request being submitted.
