Overview
- Summary of dataset and variables
The table shows the number of casualties (including fatalities) from fires by location type, motive, fire and rescue authority and financial year.
- Data collection or calculation
Fatal casualties include fatalities recorded as "fire-related" but excludes fatalities marked as "not fire-related". Those where the role of fire in the fatality was "not known" are included in "fire-related". Fire-related fatalities are those that would not have otherwise occurred had there not been a fire.
Non-fatal casualties includes both “fire-related” and all other casualties.
“Other dwelling” includes “houseboat”, “tenement”, “royal palace”, “stately home”, and “castle” in addition to incidents recorded using the “other dwelling” category.
Starting in the financial year 2025-26, data has been extracted from the Fire and Rescue Data Platform (FaRDaP) administered by the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG).
Between 2009-10 and 2024-25, data was extracted from the Incident Recording System (IRS).
- Statistical quality
FaRDaP (and the IRS before it) 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, and data for the latest financial year is marked as provisional.
Please see the Quality Report for further information.
