Notes
- Accredited official statistics from the incident records Wales's fire and rescue services complete. A fatal casualty is a death the service judges the fire to have caused; a non-fatal casualty is anyone injured, from first aid at the scene to admission to hospital. The services' areas are their own: North Wales, Mid and West Wales, and South Wales.
- The Welsh Government marks the latest year provisional and revises the year before it. England's fire deaths are on their own page.
