Further detail on fire statistics
There were 313 deliberate building fires in quarter 2 of 2023-24, down from 324 in the same quarter of 2022-23. Over the same period, the number of deliberate road vehicle fires rose from 197 to 222. There has been a long-term downward trend in deliberate building and deliberate road vehicle fires since this series began.
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 3,663 UFAS incidents in quarter 2 of 2023-24, which made up 19% of all incidents attended in that quarter. This is down from the previous year where UFAS made up 30% 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.
