 "notes": [
  "Accredited official statistics from the incident records fire and rescue services complete, which moved to a new collection system in November 2025. A fire-related fatality is a death the service judges the fire to have caused, even if it came later; a non-fatal casualty is anyone injured, from first aid at the scene to admission to hospital.",
  "Lancashire's and Leicestershire's latest figures are provisional, and Suffolk recorded too few from September 2024 to June 2025, which MHCLG says its England figures still include."
