Overview

Summary of dataset and variables

The table shows the number of fires, fire false alarms, Special Service Incidents and Special Service Incident false alarms. Numbers of fires are further broken down to show the number of primary, secondary and chimney fires.

Data collection or calculation

Since 2009-10 data have been extracted from the Incident Recording System (IRS). This is a live system and consequently it is possible that data extracted at a different time may not match the figures in this table.

Fire and false alarm data for 2004-05 to 2008-09 are taken from the FDR1 and FDR3 paper forms.

Special Service Incident data for 2004-05 to 2008-09 are taken from the Operational Fire data collection.

Statistical quality

IRS is a live system and so data extracted at a different time may not match the figures in this table. Data are revised each year. Please see the Quality Report for further information.
