NFIRS Report 40 Guyot
From: J.K. Trotter
Hi Sandy,
Thank you for the response. The NFIRS document you send me says, on the second page, that more details about the incident can be found in the “PFARS and PUPS incident reports.”
Does the Princeton Department of Emergency and Safety Services have custody of those incident reports?
Thanks,
J.K. Trotter
From: Sandra Bell
No, we do not; you would need to request this info from the Princeton First Aid & Rescue Squad (PFARS)and Princeton University Public Safety (PUPS).

OK, got it. Are those reports generally available to the public?
From: Sandra Bell
The PFARS report is certainly an open public record. I believe the PUPS report should be as well, but you would need to check with the University regarding their procedure for obtaining it.
