Statistics on fires and other emergency incidents dealt with by local authority fire brigades are collected by my Department and published annually. Statistics relating specifically to fires in Local Authority Housing are not available in my Department.

I have set out in the following tables the available information on domestic fires, and fatalities where the fire services were in attendance, as reported to me by the fire authorities. Statistics for 2008 are currently being compiled and will be sent to the Deputy as soon as possible.
