Main information

• Designation: Accredited official statistics
• Data provider 1: Home Office
• Data source 1: Fire incident recording system
• Data provider 2: Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government
• Data source 2: Incident Recording System

Overview

• Summary of dataset and variables:

  The table shows the number of casualties from fires, by the nature of injury sustained, Fire and Rescue Authority and financial year. For non-fatal casualties the category is further broken down by severity

  • victim went to hospital, injuries appear to be serious
  • victim went to hospital, injuries appear to be slight
  • first aid given at scene
  • precautionary check recommended.
• 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.

  Casualty data for 2001-02 to 2008-09 are taken from the FDR1 paper forms.

• 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.
