Statistics are an important way of monitoring our performance, analysing the success of our prevention work and looking for areas where we can improve. The tables below offer an overview of our call outs over the last four years, including fires, road traffic collisions and over the border incidents. Primary fires are fires which threaten life or property. Secondary fires are smaller fires, such as grass or bin fires.
