Notes
p - provisional
r - revised
1 - figures before 2009-10 for primary fires are based on sample data weighted to Fire and Rescue Service totals
2 - there has been a change in the recording of non-fatal casualties and 2009-10 and beyond can no longer be compared to previous years - see section 6.5.2 ii for details
