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.
