Accessibility and Clarity http://statistics.gov.scot/def/statistical-quality/accessibility-and-clarity

Statistics on Fire and Rescue incidents in Scotland covering fires, casualties, non-fire incidents and false alarms, are available on [the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service website](https://www.firescotland.gov.uk/about/statistics/). This includes a statistical report, a tables and charts workbook, open data, a statistical news document and an infographic. A glossary defining key terms relating to this dataset is available in [the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service guidance notes](https://www.firescotland.gov.uk/publications/document/?id=8243). xsd:string

Accuracy and Reliability http://statistics.gov.scot/def/statistical-quality/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. xsd:string

Comparability and Coherence http://statistics.gov.scot/def/statistical-quality/comparability-and-coherence

The Home Office publish a range of [fire statistics for England](https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/fire-statistics-data-tables). The Welsh Government publish [fire statistics for Wales](https://www.gov.wales/fire-and-rescue-incident-statistics). We do not present a link for Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service statistics as they do not use the Incident Reporting System and do not publish comparable statistics. xsd:string

Description dcterms:description http://purl.org/dc/terms/description

This dataset provides the total numbers and rates of primary building fires in Scotland down to data zone level. Data is provided for the total number of dwelling and other building fires, including accidental and deliberate causes. Data is entered by the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service into the Incident Recording System. This dataset is an extract from this live management information system, and thus may differ slightly from other extracts taken on different dates. Some fires could only be attributed to Local Authorities, and not lower level geographies. Therefore, the sum of fires for lower level geographies may not match those at Local Authority or Scotland level. xsd:string
