General description

This table shows numbers of fatalities and non-fatal casualties by grouped age.
Non-fatal casualties marked as 'not fire-related' have not been excluded (from 2009-10 onwards) due to widespread inappropriate use of this field. The issue is being investigated by the department for Communities and Local Government (CLG). Therefore there is a possible discontinuity in the time series between 2008-09 and 2009-10.
