Fatal and non-fatal casualties by quarter
Metadata
The table shows the number of fires, associated casualties and fire false alarms attended each quarter by the Fire and Rescue Authorities in Wales.
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.
