Summary

Description

[Numbers of fires, and other incidents,](https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/londondatastore-upload/lfb-incidents-month-borough.xls) attended by the London Fire Brigade by borough and month. London Fire Brigade (LFB) data covering all deliberate fires, primary fires in dwellings, and non-dwellings, shut in lift releases as well as many more sets. Data broken down by month since January 2009. Primary fires comprise of all fires attended by the FRS in buildings, vehicles and outdoor structures, and fires involving casualties, and fires attended by 5 or more appliances. Counts of primary fires for each area are provided by location (i.e. dwelling, other building, road vehicle, or other outdoors), and whether the cause was identified as accidental or deliberate. This information will help users to identify areas most at risk from having a fire, and those areas where people are most likely to fall victim to a deliberate fire attack, or be injured by fire. The statistics include fires which could not be geo-referenced accurately as a remainder. Often these cases are geo-coded later, and so the data can change each month, and therefore data is provisional. This data about the incidents attended by the London Fire Brigade includes the fire station area where the incident happened; the fire station area is currently used for mobilising and other administrative purposes. On 9 January 2014, ten London fire stations were closed as part of the Authority’s Fifth London Safety Plan (LSP5), and fire station areas were changed to reflect these closures with the station areas of closed stations being distributed to adjacent fire station areas. To provide consistent incident data, stations grounds have been changed for all incidents in this data set and reflect the station areas in use from 9 January 2014.
