Fire prevention and protection statistics

This release contains statistics from administrative sources about prevention and protection activities carried out by fire and rescue services (FRSs) and their partners in England for the financial year 2021 to 2022.

Patterns of prevention and protection activity in the financial year 2020 to 2021 were substantially affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and government guidance to limit social contact. In the financial year 2021 to 2022, prevention and protection activity started to recover from 2020 to 2021 levels; however, remained below pre-pandemic levels, given that many restrictions remained in place until July 2021.

Given the impact of the pandemic on the figures from the previous year, this release does not present percentage changes relative to the previous year.
