Details

Fire and rescue services across Great Britain record details of all incidents attended and of casualties. A national database is populated from these and this contains details as described in the Incident recording system for fire and rescue authorities.

This document summarises issues relating to data protection of fire and rescue incident records, and how these are managed in the context of the production of statistical outputs and access to record-level data sets.
