Collection of statistics<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

<\/p>

My Department's Fire Statistics Monitor<\/em> publication continues to provide statistics on numbers of non-fire incidents. These are updated twice a year and data for each fire and rescue authority in England can be found in spreadsheet workbook 7 at:<\/p>

<\/p>

www.gov.uk/government/collections/fire-statistics-monitor<\/a><\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The Department published numbers of casualties at non-fire incidents for the first time in the 2010-11 publication of Fire Statistics Great Britain<\/em>. This was discontinued following a 2012 readership survey which did not identify any need for them on a regular basis.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Statistics on incidents attended<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

<\/p>

The table below provides figures for incidents with one or more casualties attended by fire and rescue authorities in Great Britain, based on the Fire and Rescue Incident Recording System.<\/p>

Statistical calculation of response times<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

<\/p>

The difference in the primary fire numbers published is due to a small number of incidents being excluded from the calculation of average response times to ensure the data is as representative and consistent over time as possible. These are Official Statistics publications and as such, the Department's Head of Profession for Statistics has sole responsibility for decisions on the methodology for these statistics and how they are presented.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The excluded incidents are those for which response time may be less critical, such as fires in abandoned vehicles or derelict property, and exceptional incidents which would otherwise skew averages and hinder analysis of trends. The exclusions are in line with long-established statistical practice; details on the exclusions are set out on p.16 of the Fire Incident Response Times 2012-13<\/em>, published in August 2013:<\/p>
