Updated 'Fire stations' dataset in line with Fire and rescue incident statistics, year ending September 2025 release.
10 December 2025
The fire stations guidance was incorrectly updated as the flooding and water rescue guidance. This has been updated correctly.

23 August 2024
Updated 'Flooding and water rescue incidents dataset', 'Low level geography dataset' and 'Outdoor fires dataset'. A minor error was found in the LSOA code and name provided in 3 of the incident level datatsets, since these were published on 25 July 2024. For 3 fire and rescue services, a large number of incidents had an LSOA of "Not known", when these should have been allocated to a specific LSOA. This affected the 3 incident level datatsets of 'Lower level geography', 'Outdoor fires', and 'Flooding and water rescue incidents'.
