Overview

Summary of dataset and variables

The table shows the number of secondary fires by location type, motive, FRA and financial year.

Secondary fires are the majority of outdoor fires including grassland and refuse fires unless they involve casualties or rescues, property loss or five or more appliances attend. They include fires in single derelict buildings.

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.

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.
