Notes
- From the incident records fire and rescue services complete for every incident they attend. Non-fire incidents, which the services call special service incidents, include road traffic collisions, flooding and helping other agencies.
- The Welsh Government marks the latest year provisional and revises the year before it. England's incidents are on their own page.
