FIRE AND RESCUE INCIDENT STATISTICS SCOTLAND, 2015-16 18 October 2016
1. Introduction
This publication presents fire and rescue incident statistics for Scotland, including information on fires, non-fire incidents, casualties and false alarms.
The bulletin includes statistics presented at National and Local Authority level. Trend data for the 10 year period from 2006-07 to 2015-16 is provided at Scotland level and data for 2015-16 at local authority level. It also includes a table of key data since 1990. The information supplied for 2015-16 is based on provisional data which may be revised subject to the SFRS revisions policy published alongside this bulletin.
Some of the key figures in these statistics have already been published as part of the SFRS Annual Performance Review 2015-16.
Key data tables are provided within this bulletin, while more detailed and extensive tables are provided in a dataset accompanying the bulletin. Notes on the statistics, formerly provided as a section of this bulletin, are now provided as a standalone document alongside this bulletin.

2. Main Points
All incidents
• In2015-16SFRSattendedatotalof88,857incidents,anincreaseof3,853(fivepercent)on2014-15. False alarms made up 56 per cent of all incidents, 17 per cent were secondary fires, 15 per cent non-fire incidents (formerly called ‘Special service incidents’) and 12 per cent were primary fires. Chimney fires made up one per cent of the incidents (Table 26).
• Theincreaseintotalincidentsispartlydrivenbyanincreaseinnon-fireincidents,whichislikelytobe related to a trial of SFRS attending out of hospital cardiac arrest incidents (Section 4.7.1).
Fires
• In2015-16,theSFRSattendedatotalof26,613fires,anincreaseofsixpercent(1,588fires)comparedto 2014-15. In comparison to figures of ten years ago, the total number of fires attended is 45 per cent less than that of 2006-07 (Table 1).
• Thenumberofprimaryfiresin2015-16increasedbythreepercentto11,005comparedtotheprevious year. Secondary fires increased from 13,406 to 14,726 (ten per cent).
Casualties
• In2015-16therewere45fatalcasualtiesfromfiresinScotland(provisionalfigures),anincreaseoffouron the 2014-15 figure of 41. Six of the 45 fire fatalities were deemed, by fire investigations, to be suicides. (Table 2).
• ThefirefatalityrateinScotlandin2015-16(provisionalfigures)was8.4fatalitiespermillionpopulation, higher than that in England and Wales (5.5 and 6.1 respectively), though the thankfully small numbers of fire deaths make the fire fatality rate a volatile measure.
• Therewere1,256non-fatalfirecasualtiesin2015-16.Thisisanincreaseof14percentcomparedto 2014-15 when there were 1,101 casualties.
Non-fire incidents
• Therewereatotalof12,832non-fireincidentsattendedbytheSFRSin2015-16,anincreaseof19per cent from 2014-15 (2,089 incidents). This increase includes a 40 per cent increase in “Medical Incident: Co-responder/ First responder” incidents (from 374 to 523) and a 55 per cent increase in “Assist other agencies” (from 774 to 1,203 incidents). These two figures are likely to be the result of the Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest trial (Table 6).
False alarms
• In2015-16,SFRSattended49,412falsealarms,includingnon-firefalsealarms,accountingfor56percent of all incidents attended, more than any other incident type. There were 109 more false alarms attended in 2015-16 than in 2014-15, which is 0.2 per cent increase (Table 4).

Scottish Fire and Rescue Service
3. Background
In 2013, the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) replaced the 8 former Fire and Rescue Services (FRSs) of Scotland. This is therefore the third year that the statistics cover the single SFRS.
These statistics are compiled from reports submitted by SFRS officers using the Home Office Incident Recording System (IRS) to report on incidents they have attended. IRS was introduced across Britain in April 2009.
Further information on the statistics in this bulletin are provided in Section 5 and in the Notes to the Statistics document that accompanies this bulletin. Definitions for IRS terms are contained as part of the IRS guidance1.
The 2015-16 figures in this publication are provisional and are subject to revision in line with the SFRS revisions policy. The policy is published alongside the bulletin and is summarised in the Notes to the Statistics. Casualty figures are particularly vulnerable to revision as a result of pending investigations into fires.
Revised figures for 2013-14 and 2014-15 are provided here and supersede those in previous editions of this publication. Further details on revisions made in this publication are available in the Notes to the Statistics.
This publication is accompanied by data tables, published as a downloadable workbook on the SFRS website. For tables at Scotland level, the figures provided cover the past ten years. There are exceptions to this, including non-fire incidents, that were first fully recorded using the electronic IRS from 2009-10. Local authority level tables are provided for 2015-16 only.
3.1 Purpose of the statistics
This bulletin contains information on fires, fire related casualties and fatalities, non-fire incidents and associated casualties and fatalities and on false alarms attended by the SFRS.
These statistics provide evidence on the activities and the performance of the SFRS. However, some of the activity is reactive and does not necessarily demonstrate the performance of the service. In particular for 2015-16 the number of non-fire incidents (formerly known as ‘special service incidents’) has increased. This increase is linked to integrated multi-agency work to create safer communities, specifically a national trial involving SFRS and the Scottish Ambulance Service (SAS).
The trial was launched on 29th October 2015 with the aim of increasing survival rate of patients who suffer out of hospital cardiac arrest. The impact of the initiative on the number of incidents and casualties attended by SFRS and on the outcomes for Scotland, is introduced within Section 4.7 on non-fire incidents.
Where potential reasons for changes or trends have been fully analysed they are included in the commentary. Where reasons are, as yet, unproven, they may be mentioned but should be considered only as a possible explanation.

4. Commentary
4.1 All incident statistics
In 2015-16, SFRS attended a total of 88,857 incidents, an increase of 3,853 (four per cent) on 2014-15. The increase is partly driven by an increase in non-fire incidents, which is likely to be related to a trial of SFRS attending out of hospital cardiac arrest incidents (Table 14) - see Section 4.7.1 for more details.
Of the total incidents, there were 11,005 primary fires and 14,726 secondary fires (12 and 17 per cent of all incidents respectively) and 12,832 non-fire incidents (14 per cent of all incidents). False alarms (including non-fire) accounted for 49,412 incidents (56 per cent of all incidents).
These categories are explained in more detail in their own sections of this bulletin.

4.2 Fire statistics
In this publication, fires are classed as Primary, Secondary or Chimney fires.
Primary fires include all fires in buildings, vehicles and most outdoor structures, or any fire involving casualties or rescues, or fires attended by five or more appliances. This publication commonly splits primary fires into 4 sub-categories or ‘locations’, these are Dwellings, Other Buildings, Road Vehicles and Others.
Secondary fires are the majority of outdoor fires. They include grassland and refuse fires unless they involve casualties or rescues, property loss or are attended by five or more appliances. Secondary fires can fluctuate due to weather conditions throughout the year.
Chimney fires are fires in buildings where the fire was contained within the chimney structure and did not involve casualties, rescues or the attendance of five or more appliances.
A glossary is contained as Section 5 and explains the terms used more fully.
Scottish Fire and Rescue Service5
4.2.1 Total number of fires
In 2015-16, the SFRS attended a total of 26,613 fires in Scotland, an increase of six per cent compared to the previous year (25,025). However, in comparison to figures of ten years ago, the total number of fires attended is 45 per cent less than that of 2006-07. (Table 1)
Of those total fires, the majority (55 per cent) were secondary fires, 41 per cent were primary fires, and three per cent were chimney fires. Note: percentage figures may not sum to 100 per cent due to rounding.
The number of primary fires in 2015-16 increased by three per cent to 11,005 between 2014-15 and 2015-16. Secondary fires increased by ten per cent between 2014-15 and 2015-16, from 13,406 to 14,726.
These increases should be seen in the context of a long term decrease in fires of all types. There were 25 per cent fewer primary fires in 2015-16 than a decade earlier in 2006-07 and the current total number of secondary fires is less than half the number attended in 2006-07.
Attending fires of any type accounted for under one third (30 per cent) of all incidents attended by the SFRS in 2015-16.
4.2.2 Primary fires by type
Primary fires are those which cause harm to people or cause property loss. Dwelling fires form the highest proportion of primary fires and are of particular importance as they are the biggest cause of fire casualties (83 per cent of casualties were in dwelling fires) (Tables 1 and 8).
Just over half of all primary fires were in dwellings (52 per cent), 23 per cent were in other buildings and 18 per cent were in road vehicles. The proportion of primary fires in road vehicles has been decreasing since 2006-07, while other types of primary fires have increased.

4.2.3 Fires by geography
Calculating the rate of fires per head of population2 allows comparisons across local authorities in Scotland.
The local authority with the highest rate of all fire types was Inverclyde at 782 fires per 100,000 population, compared to the national average of 495. Aberdeenshire has the lowest rate of fires at 254 per 100,000 population (Table 11).

Looking at only the primary fires, West Dunbartonshire had the highest rate at 301 primary fires per 100,000 population, compared to the Scottish average of 204. West Dunbartonshire also had the highest rate of dwelling fires at 174 per 100,000 population, compared to the Scottish average of 106.
The rate of accidental dwelling fires per 100,000 dwellings3 is used to compare dwelling fires across Local Authorities. The local authority with the highest rate of dwelling fires per 100,000 dwellings was West Dunbartonshire with 338 fires per 100,000 dwellings compared to the national average rate of 208.
Scottish Fire and Rescue Service7
4.2.4 Secondary fires
Secondary fires are mostly smaller outdoor fires, not involving people or property. They can be influenced by weather conditions resulting in fluctuations from year to year.
The SFRS attended 14,726 secondary fires in 2015-16, an increase of 10 per cent from a ten-year low in 2014-15. Secondary fires represented 55 per cent of all fires attended in 2015-16. Half of all secondary fires were rubbish fires (Table 9).
4.3 Fires by motive - deliberate and accidental
This section looks at the ‘motive’ of fires, in particular whether they were recorded as caused accidentally or deliberately. Accidental fires are defined as fires which were ignited by accident, or where the cause of the fire was not known. Deliberate fires are defined as fires which were ignited deliberately or the Fire and Rescue Service suspect they were started deliberately (Tables 11 and 12).
The motive of secondary fires was not recorded until the introduction of IRS in 2009-10, so Table 13 does not present statistics from before then.
4.3.1 Primary fires by motive
Accidental fires accounted for 77 per cent of all primary fires in 2015-16. There were 11,005 primary fires of which 8,423 were accidental fires and 2,582 were deliberate. This proportion is similar to 2014-15 (Table 11a).
Accidental primary fires increased by two per cent (194 fires) since 2014-15 and deliberate primary fires increased by seven per cent (169 fires).
The trend in accidental and deliberate primary fires in the last decade is shown in Figure 6. While accidental primary fires have reduced by seven per cent since 2006-07, secondary fires have reduced by 55 per cent, from 5,700 in 2006-07 to 2,582 in 2015-16.

4.3.2 Secondary fires by motive
The proportion of secondary fires that were deliberate is higher than that of primary fires. This has been consistent since the start of IRS recording (Table 13).
Accidental secondary fires increased by nine per cent from 2014-15 and deliberate secondary fires increased by ten per cent. Taken over the seven years since recording started, accidental secondary fires reduced by 48 per cent and deliberate secondary fires reduced by 33 per cent.

The local authority with the highest rate of deliberate secondary fires was Inverclyde at 494 deliberate secondary fires per 100,000 population compared to the national average of 229.
4.4 Casualties in fires
Casualties from fire are reported in 2 categories: fatal and non-fatal.
• A fatal casualty is where a person’s death is attributed to a fire, even if the death did not occur at the time of the incident.
• Non-fatal casualties consist of people who: - were given first aid at the scene of the fire - were taken to hospital to see a doctor for injuries (either serious or slight) - have no obvious injury but were advised to see a doctor as a precaution, whether or not they actually did (i.e. a precautionary check).
Non-fatal casualties are also presented in the tables excluding precautionary checks. The presentation of casualties both with and without precautionary checks allows comparison with previous statistics, and does not influence recording practices, which might in turn influence operational practice.
Fire and Rescue Incident Statistics Scotland 2015-16 10
The revision policy, which means that all data is provisional and subject to revision, is particularly relevant for casualty data, which may change following fire investigations or medical reports.
Any fire which results in a fatal or non-fatal casualty is a primary fire.
The datasets published alongside this bulletin provide more data on casualty rates by gender, age, nature of injury and nature of treatment.
4.4.1 Fatal casualties from fires
In 2015-16 there were 45 fatal casualties from fires in Scotland (provisional figures), an increase of four (ten per cent) on the 2014-15 figure of 41. Fluctuations are common in fire fatalities data because of the relatively small numbers involved (Table 2).
SFRS carries out fire investigations into all fires where a fatality occurred. In 2014-15 it was established through these fire investigations that eight of the 41 fire fatalities occurred where people had used fire as a means to commit suicide (revised down from ten). In 2015-16 there were six fire fatalities noted as suicides according to information provided to fire investigation reporting officers. Once a fire investigation has established the cause of death in this way, the IRS record is updated. This can occur some time after the original report is completed.
Thirty nine of the 45 fire fatalities in 2015-16 occurred in dwellings (87 per cent), with three in other buildings and three in vehicle fires. Of the 39 people who died in dwelling fires, 33 were in accidental fires, and six were in deliberate fires (Table 11).
Figure 9 and Table 14 show the long term downward trend in fire fatalities since 1994 when the paper FDR1 (94) form (the predecessor to IRS) was introduced. The 2015-16 figure is part of a long-term downward trend in fire fatalities and the number of fire fatalities is now just over a half of that in 1994.

Introduction of IRS
Notes: Data here is shown from the introduction of the FDR1(94) paper recording in 1994. Since 2008-09, data has been reported in financial years rather than calendar years and data from 1994 was recalculated to the new format. IRS recording was introduced in 2009-10. Note 1 – chart data does not include incidents that occurred during national industrial action in November 2002, January and February 2003

4.4.2 Non-fatal casualties in fires
Data on non-fatal casualties is considered from 2009-10 onwards because the transition to IRS caused some inconsistencies in data recording in this field. Details of this change are explained in Section 1.5.3 of the Notes to the Statistics document that accompanies this bulletin.
Data quoted here is provisional and subject to amendment.
There were 1,256 non-fatal fire casualties in 2015-16. This is an increase of 14 per cent compared to the ten-year low of 2014-15 when there were 1,101 casualties (Table 2).
4.4.3 Non-fatal casualties by location
83 per cent of non-fatal fire casualties in 2015-16 occurred in dwelling fires (1,045 casualties). Nine per cent of casualties were in ‘Other building fires’, five per cent in road vehicle fires and three per cent in ‘Other’ fires (Table 2b).
4.4.4 Non-fatal casualty rates
The rate of non-fatal casualties (including precautionary checks) per 1,000 primary fires increased from 103 in 2014-15 to 114 in 2015-16. The rate of casualties per 1,000 primary fires provides an indication of the likelihood of being injured in a fire and can be influenced by both the number of primary fires occurring and the number of injuries in them (Table 2a).
The rate of non-fatal casualties (including precautionary checks) per 1,000 primary fires is higher in dwellings than in other fire locations.
Although there were only seven non-fatal casualties in Na h-Eileanan Siar in 2015-16, it is the local authority with the highest rate at 350 non-fatal casualties per 1,000 primary fires, with Stirling having the lowest rate at 47 per 1,000 fires. The rate for Scotland as a whole was 179 casualties per 1,000 fires.
The rate of non-fatal fire casualties per million population is shown in Section 4.5.4 where comparisons with England and Wales are made.
4.4.5 Fire casualties by motive and location
Accidental fires account for 77 per cent of all fires, 82 per cent of fire fatalities and 86 per cent of non-fatal fire casualties (Table 11).
Provisionally there were 37 fire fatalities in accidental fires in 2015-16, 33 occurred in accidental dwelling fires, 2 in other buildings and 2 were in road vehicle fires.
Of the 8 fatalities which resulted from deliberate fires in 2015-16, 6 occurred in dwellings, there was one fatality in a road vehicle fire and one in an ‘Other building’ fire. Six fire fatalities were identified as suicides (see also Section 4.4.1).
There were provisionally 1,074 non-fatal casualties in accidental fires (86 per cent of all non-fatal casualties) and 182 (14 per cent) in deliberate fires in 2015-16.
The local authority with the highest rate of accidental fires was West Dunbartonshire at 232 accidental primary fires per 100,000 population, and the lowest rate of was in East Dunbartonshire at 95 accidental primary fires per 100,000 population.
Fire and Rescue Incident Statistics Scotland 2015-16 12
For deliberate fires, the local authority with the highest rate was West Lothian at 86 deliberate primary fires per 100,000 population, and the lowest rate was in the Orkney Islands where there were no deliberate primary fires.
4.5 Fires and fire casualties by country
4.5.1 Comparisons by country
Scotland, England and Wales all use the same Home Office managed IRS to report on incidents attended by Fire and Rescue Services. By presenting the rate by population, simple and correct comparisons of fire and casualty rates across Great Britain can be made. Figures for 2015-16 are provisional.
English IRS statistics were published by the Home Office in the Fire Statistics Monitor: April 2015 to March 2016 on 17th August and the Welsh Government published their Fire Statistics on 27th July 2016. Data from these publications is used for the comparisons in this section. In their publications, England and Wales have already included the GB comparisons up to 2014-15, but have not yet included the Scottish 2015-16 statistics.
Rates for other statistics in this publication are quoted per 100,000 population to make the values easily readable. The Home Office published these figures by “per million population” which is used here for consistency and comparability. The difference in presentation moves the decimal place.
4.5.2 Fire rates by country
In the last decade, Scotland has had a higher rate per million population than England and Wales for fires, primary fires, fatalities and casualties. Similar changes in trends can be identified in the countries over that time, with all fires and primary fires in all countries falling until around 2013-14 when they started to level off. Fire fatality rates, which are more volatile due to the lower figures, have been dropping over the decade, although rates in Scotland and England have increased since 2014-15.
The 2015-16 rate of all fires per million population was 4,953 fires per million population in Scotland, 3,908 in Wales and 2,958 in England.
Looking at primary fires only, the rates in 2015-16 were 2,048 primary fires per million population in Scotland, 1,510 in Wales and 1,339 in England. The trend over the last ten years is shown in Figure 11.

Fire and Rescue Incident Statistics Scotland 2015-16
4.5.3 Fire fatality rates by country
The fire fatality rate in Scotland was 8.4 fatalities per million population in 2015-16 (provisional figures) (Table 10).
The rate of fatal casualties from fires per million population in Scotland was again higher than that in England and Wales (5.5 and 6.1 respectively). Over the last ten years, Scotland has had a higher fire fatality rate than the rest of Great Britain (Figure 12), though the small numbers make the fire fatality rate a volatile measure.
4.5.4 Non-fatal casualty rates by country
The non-fatal casualty rate used in this section is defined as the number of non-fatal casualties from fires per million population. Precautionary checks are included in this value.
In 2015-16, there were 234 non-fatal casualties per million population in Scotland, whereas in England and Wales there were 140 and 191 respectively. Over the last ten years Scotland has consistently had a higher rate than England and Wales, even taking into account the change in reporting of non-fatal casualties from 2009-10, which affected statistics in Scotland more than in England and Wales (see Section 1.5.3 of the Notes to the Statistics document that accompanies this bulletin for more details) (Table 10).
Figure 13 shows the trend since the introduction of IRS in 2009-10. This avoids the inconsistency introduced into the non-fatal casualty data at changeover to IRS.
4.6 False alarms
4.6.1 Background
A false alarm is an event in which the SFRS believe they have been called to a reportable incident and then find there is no incident.
False alarms are categorised in IRS as follows:
• Malicious: calls made with the intention of getting the SFRS to attend a non-existent incident, including deliberate and suspected malicious intent;
• Good intent: calls made in good faith in the belief that the SFRS really would be attending a fire or a special service; or
• Due to apparatus: calls initiated by fire alarm and/or fire-fighting equipment (including accidental initiation of alarm apparatus by persons).
As part of the Strategic Plan for 2013-2016 SFRS introduced an “Unwanted Fire Alarm Signals (UFAS) Incident Policy” to consider how best to manage UFAS. The aim of the policy is to reduce risk and create better outcomes by working with the business community and professional associations. The policy was intended to impact on the number of false alarms attended in Scotland, in particular those due to apparatus (though not alarms from single private dwellings). In this bulletin the statistics are reported while longer term analysis of the impact of the UFAS policy is being carried out in the Service.

Scottish Fire and Rescue Service15
4.6.2 False alarm statistics
In 2015-16, SFRS attended 49,412 false alarms, including non-fire false alarms, accounting for 56 per cent of all incidents attended: more than any other incident type. There were 109 more false alarms attended in 2015-16 than in 2014-15, which is 0.2 per cent increase (Table 4).
Of the total false alarms attended, 77 per cent were due to apparatus, five per cent were malicious and the remaining 18 per cent were made with good intent.
While malicious and good intent false alarms have steadily decreased over the past decade, fire alarms due to apparatus have slightly increased (from 33,858 in 2006-07 to 37,635 in 2015-16), probably reflecting the number of premises with automatic fire alarms systems installed. It is this increase that the SFRS UFAS policy mentioned in Section 4.6.1 is intended to address.

Over the last decade the number of malicious false alarms and false alarms made with good intent were around half of that in 2006-07 (55 per cent and 42 per cent reduction respectively).
Most false alarms were to a fire, but there were 555 non-fire false alarms made in 2015-16. This figure is reduced by 80 (13 per cent) from 2014-15.
4.7 Non-fire incidents and casualties
Non-fire incidents are those attended by the SFRS that are not fire related, for example road traffic collisions and flooding incidents. Non-fire details were not collected nationally or consistently prior to the introduction of IRS, meaning analysis is only possible for 2009-10 onwards. In previous publications these incidents were termed ‘special service incidents’, though as core business they have now been re-named. The data is the same.
Fire and Rescue Incident Statistics Scotland 2015-16
4.7.1 Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) Trial
On 1st November 2015 SFRS and Scottish Ambulance Service (SAS) launched a series of national co-responding trials to increase the survival rate of patients who suffer out of hospital cardiac arrest in selected areas of Scotland. In this trial, firefighters received enhanced training in life-support, and attend incidents with the SAS through a joint partnership approach. The trial had been running for 6 months during the period of the statistics and so a change in the relevant incident statistics is likely to be discernible. The number of attendances recorded as either “Medical Incident: Co-responder/ First responder” or as “Assist other agencies” would be expected to increase, particularly in the local authorities that are participating. While selected stations in four local authorities were formally involved in the trial, there may also have been other similar incidents that were not in the trial area.
It is important to note that while the SFRS attends these incidents, an increase in incident numbers, or indeed fatalities, is not indicative of poor performance by the fire service.
The following SFRS community fire and rescue stations are included within the scope of the national co-response trials: West Lothian (Bathgate, Livingston and Linlithgow), East Lothian (Musselburgh), Aberdeenshire (Turriff and Maud), Scottish Borders (Hawick, Lauder and Coldstream) and Falkirk (Falkirk).
The commentary here reports on the statistics from IRS and provides a degree of context. The SFRS OHCA trial team are evaluating the trials, which will be reported separately to the statistics.
4.7.2 Non-fire incident statistics
Non-fire incidents accounted for 14 per cent of incidents attended by the SFRS in 2015-16 (Tables 6 and 14).
There were a total of 12,832 non-fire incidents attended by the SFRS in 2015-16, an increase of 19 per cent from 2014-15 (2,089 incidents). This increase includes a 40 per cent increase in “Medical Incident: Co-responder/ First responder” incidents (from 374 to 523) and a 55 per cent increase in “assist other agencies” (from 774 to 1,203 incidents). These two figures are likely to be the result of the OHCA trial.
Other categories of non-fire incident also increased. The largest percentage increases were in “Rescue or evacuation from water” (50 per cent increase from 116 to 174) and a 40 per cent increase in “Effecting entry or exit” (from 1,782 to 2,487). Examples of ‘effecting entry or exit’ include where a person is locked out and a child is left in the house unattended (forced entry) or a person is locked in a room due to a defective lock (forced exit), however, it may also be recorded where the Service attended an incident with the ambulance service and needed to gain access to a casualty. Therefore this increase in effecting entry or exit may also be related to the OHCA trial where crews may have been mobilised to aid other agencies in accessing medical emergencies.
Road Traffic Collisions (RTCs) where a fire did not occur and Effecting entry or exit were the most common types of non-fire incident in 2015-16, each accounting for 19 per cent of all non-fire incidents.
Looking at the non-fire incidents by local authority does not immediately provide a clear picture of the locations where the OHCA trials would be expected to have an effect, though the Scottish Borders is the local authority with the highest rate of non-fire incidents per 100,000 population. It should also be remembered that the stations involved in the trial only form a part of the local authority level reporting and it is possible that other areas may have followed similar processes.

4.7.3 Non-fire incident casualties and fatalities
More casualties are associated with non-fire incidents than with fire incidents. The number of casualties and fatalities is expected to be affected by the OHCA trials.
There were 408 reported fatalities from non-fire incidents in 2015-16. This is a 48 per cent increase from 2014-15. Fatalities from the categories of non-fire incident associated with the OHCA trial, i.e. “Medical incident co-responder or first responder”, “Assisting other agencies” and “Effecting entry or exit”, increased by 280 per cent, 83 per cent and 126 per cent respectively. Together these three categories accounted for 230 fatalities, up from 96 in 2014-15, i.e. 134 more fatalities than the previous year.
Figure 16 shows the number of fatalities from the top four categories of non-fire incidents since 2009-10. It seems probable that the increase in fatalities from non-fire incidents is related to the OHCA trial.

Overall non-fatal casualties from non-fire incidents increased from 2,808 in 2014-15 to 3,327 in 2015-16. Casualties from the categories of non-fire incident associated with the OHCA trial showed an increase out of keeping with general non-fire incident changes, collectively rising from 626 casualties to 945.
In 2015-16 RTC incidents accounted for 25 per cent of all non-fire incident fatalities attended by the SFRS and 61 per cent of non-fatal casualties.
4.7.4 Related statistics
It should be noted that there are other statistical reports of RTC casualties and fatalities in Scotland. Transport Scotland publish ‘Reported Road Casualties Scotland’4, which is the official source of information for RTCs reported to Police Scotland. In that publication, 11,240 road casualties were reported in 2014, (264 or two per cent fewer than 2013) and the lowest number of casualties since records began in 1950. Since the SFRS only attend RTCs where they are required, the number of RTC casualties reported to Police Scotland will be higher than those reported here.

5. Glossary of terms
Details of the questions and categories used in the recording of incidents under the new IRS are available in the document IRS Questions and Lists.
Accidental: Includes fires where the fire was ignited by accident, or where the cause was not known or unspecified.
Buildings: All buildings, including those under construction, but excluding derelict buildings or those under demolition. Prior to 1994 ‘buildings’ were referred to as ‘occupied buildings’.
Dwellings: Buildings occupied by households, excluding hotels, hostels and residential institutions. Mobile homes are specifically included in the dwelling count. In 2000, the definition of a dwelling (for the purpose of reporting fires) was widened to include any non-permanent structures used solely as a dwelling, such as caravans, houseboats etc. (amounts to 0.3 per cent of the total number of UK dwelling fires). All analyses prior to 1998 relating to dwellings were retrospectively revised to include the new categories of dwelling. Caravans, boats etc. not used as a permanent dwelling are shown according to the type of property (caravan, vehicle etc.).
Chimney fires: Reported fires in occupied buildings: - where the fire was confined within the chimney structure; - that did not involve casualties or rescues; and - attended by less than five appliances.
Deliberate: Includes fires where deliberate ignition is merely suspected, and recorded by the SFRS as “doubtful”.
False Alarm: An event in which the SFRS believe they have been called to a reportable fire or special service incident and then there is no such incident. False alarms are categorised as:
Malicious – the call was made with the intention of getting the SFRS to attend a non-existent incident. This includes ‘deliberate’ and ‘suspected malicious’ intentions;
Good intent – the call was made in good faith in the belief that the SFRS really would attend an incident;
Due to apparatus (fire incidents only) – the call was initiated by fire alarm and fire fighting equipment operating (including accidental initiation of alarm apparatus by a person).
Fatal casualty (fires): Any fatal casualty which is the direct or indirect result of injuries caused by a fire incident. Even if the fatal casualty dies subsequently, any fatality whose cause is attributed to a fire is included. There are also occasional cases where it transpires subsequently that fire was not the cause of death. For all of these reasons, fatalities data may therefore be subject to revision.

Fire and Rescue Incident Statistics Scotland 2015-16
Fire Damage Reports The method of data collection via paper forms prior to the Incident Recording (FDR1, FDR2 and FDR3): System (April 2009). FDR1 was used to record primary fires, FDR2 was used to amend FDR1 records that needed updating and FDR3 reported aggregate data for secondary fires, chimney fires and false alarms.
Location: The type of premises, property or countryside in which the fire started. This is not necessarily the type of premises in which most casualties or damage occurred as a result of the fire.
Non-fatal casualty (fires): Persons in fires who were: - given first aid at the scene; - referred to hospital to see a doctor for injuries (either serious or slight); or - advised to see a doctor for a precautionary check, whether or not they actually did.
Non-fire incident: formerly “Special service incident”. These cover incidents requiring the attendance of an appliance or officer. The Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 placed a statutory duty on former FRSs (and now SFRS) to make provision for firefighting and road traffic accidents. It also included an additional function order that covers non-fire incidents such as rescues from collapsed buildings and serious flooding (Table 6 shows the Non-fire incidents categories included in the publication).
Outdoor fires: The term ‘outdoor fires’ used in this publication refers to primary and secondary fires in road vehicles, other outdoor property, derelict buildings, derelict vehicles and refuse, grassland and intentional straw/stubble fires.
Precautionary check: A precautionary check is when an individual is sent to hospital or advised to see a doctor as a precaution, having no obvious injury or distress (see definition for ‘non-fatal casualty’ above).
Primary fires: Include all fires in non-derelict buildings and most outdoor structures, or any fires involving casualties or rescues, or any fires attended by five or more appliances.
Secondary fires: The majority of outdoor fires including grassland and refuse fires unless they involve casualties or rescues, property loss, or if five or more appliances attend. They include fires in derelict buildings but not chimney fires.
Special services: Special service incidents are now reported as “Non-fire incidents”.
