Primary fires are the most serious type of fire we attend. They usually involve property or vehicles.
During 2009 to 2010 there was a small increase in the number of primary fires we attended.
However, we are pleased that the number of primary fires we attended has reduced by 8% in 2010 to 2011, and that we are consistently performing better than the national average.
The number of fires in buildings is reducing steadily. We have seen a 5% reduction in the number of fires in buildings in 2010 to 2011 compared with the previous year, and a 19% reduction since our 2008 baseline. Our performance continues to be better than the national average.
The graph shows the number of fires in buildings for every 10,000 domestic and non-domestic buildings in Hampshire, compared with the national average.
