Further detail on fire statistics
* New * There were 196 deliberate building fires in quarter 4 of 2023-24, down from 234 in the same quarter of 2022-23. Over the same period, the number of deliberate road vehicle fires fell from 179 to 153. There has been a long-term downward trend in deliberate building and deliberate road vehicle fires since this series began.
* New * Unwanted fire alarm signals (UFAS) describe avoidable false alarm signals from a workplace, either from an automatic fire alarm or from a person. There were 2,905 UFAS incidents in quarter 4 of 2023-24, which made up 18% of all incidents attended in that quarter. This is down from the previous year where UFAS made up 35% of all incidents attended in that quarter. This decrease is attributed to the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service’s new policy regarding UFAS incidents, which outlines a change in how automatic fire alarm call outs are managed.
