[Collapse]ReasonThe marked changes between 1995 and 1996 in the numbers of false alarm calls for good intent and due to apparatus are partly the result of coding changes. Guidance clarifying false alarm calls to be included in the due to apparatus category as applied by some fire brigades has resulted in some false alarm calls being classified into this category rather than good intent.[Filter]
