First published.
On 1 April 2025 responsibility for fire and rescue transferred from the Home Office to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government.
This information covers fires, false alarms and non-fire incidents attended by fire crews, including the number of incidents, fires, fatalities and casualties as well as information on response times to fires. The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) also collect information on the workforce, fire prevention work, health and safety and firefighter pensions.
MHCLG has responsibility for fire services in England. The vast majority of statistics produced by MHCLG are for England but some, clearly marked, tables are for Great Britain split by nation. In the past the Department for Communities and Local Government (who previously had responsibility for fire services in England) produced releases and tables for Great Britain and at times the UK. Similar information for devolved administrations are available at Scotland: Fire and rescue statistics, Wales: Fire and rescue statistics and Northern Ireland: Fire and rescue statistics.
A privacy notice for individuals who have accessed fire and rescue services explaining how we use your personal data is available at Fire and rescue services: privacy notice.
