The number of fire-related deaths is quite low across the country. This is the result of the fire-prevention and protection work that fire and rescue services have carried out over a number of years. We treat each death extremely seriously. By understanding the circumstances in each case we can develop our plans and target our resources more appropriately to reduce the number of deaths from fire in the future.
The graph shows the number of deaths from fire for every 100,000 people of the population, and compares our performance with the national average.
We are pleased that the number of injuries from primary fires has reduced since 2009 to 2010, and is much lower than the national average.
We changed the way we report casualties in 2009 to 2010 because we moved to a new national system for recording incidents. We are unable to draw precise comparisons as the information that is reported is different now to what was reported in the past.
