Casualties by nature of injury and financial year
Metadata
The table shows the number of casualties from fires, by the nature of injury sustained.
Non-fatal casualties marked 'not fire-related' have not been excluded due to some concern within CLG that this field has not been correctly used. There is therefore a possible discontinuity in the non-fatal casualties time series between 2008-09 and 2009-10.
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. For instance the data published in the Performance Indicator tables are extracted at a different time and so may not match exactly those presented here.
Data prior to 2009-10 are taken from the FDR1 paper form data collection.
From 2009-10 onwards data are collected via the Incident Recording System (IRS).
Because of the different systems and changes to data collected, it is not possible to provide a full, comparable time series.
