The number of false alarm incidents attended by Fire Brigades within their area , broken down by malicious and good intent , for the years from 2007 to 2011, is set out in the following table. These data are based on fire statistics returns from each individual Local Authority Fire and Rescue Service. The statistical information for the year 2012 will not be available until later this year. The cost incurred as a result of these calls is a matter for the local authority concerned, and is not collected by my Department.
