Description
This dataset provide the numbers and rates of fires in Scotland down to datazone level. Data is provided for the total number of fires, including accidental and deliberate causes.
Data is entered by the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service into the Incident Recording System.
Details
Confidentiality Policy
Information at datazone level has been disclosure controlled with data swapping in some datazones. Swapping data for a small percentage of records before producing the aggregate results at Local Authority level has a negligible effect on the overall trends, but ensures the confidentiality of individual records.
The full disclosure control policy for fire statistics can be found on the Scottish Government website
Quality Management
Accuracy and Reliability
Data is recorded by the fire service officer in charge of an incident and is grid referenced. Care should be exercised in using the small geography data as low numbers of fires and some small populations can produce atypical outputs.
Coherence and Comparability
Accessibility and Clarity
Relevance
Timeliness and Punctuality
Incidents should be reported within 2 weeks of occurrence though completeion may take longer depending on investigations etc. Data is published as provisional and revised the following year.
