Overview

• Summary of dataset and variables:

  The table shows the number of fatalities and non-fatal casualties from fires by location type, motive, FRA and financial year.

• 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.
