This is an informal request for information for the following: Request for annual reports (if published) or annual statistical summaries for calendar years 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020. The following are the usual statistics received each year from RFES: 1. Fire loss dollar summary by year 2. Fire deaths and injuries 3. Emergency Response by Category and alary type with total alarms. I would also like to request an original professional print copy of older annual reports of the City of Regina Fire Department. Currently I have originals within my archives dating to calendar year 1968. If you could search the archives and city hall records and locate originals prior to 1968 and forward them along it would be greatly appreciated.

Incident-based fire statistics, by performance of sprinkler system, structural fires and type of incident and casualty, Canada, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, Yukon, Canadian Armed Forces, 2005 to 2021.

There were 309 fire-related fatalities in Great Britain in the 2023/24 reporting year, a decline on the previous reporting year when there were 323. In the early 2000s, the annual number of fire fatalities was consistently over 500, with numbers gradually falling throughout that decade. In 2011/12 the number of fatalities related to fire fell below 400 for the first time, and has remained below 400 since that point. Incidents rise as workforce shrinks Although there has been a net decrease in the number of incidents attended by fire and rescue services since the early 2010s, the current trend from 2014/15 onwards has been one of increase. In 2022/23, there were 759,456 incidents attended by the fire service, which was the most in a reporting year since 2010/11. Like many other public services, the fire service cut significant numbers of staff during the 2010s, with the number of fire and rescue workers in England falling by around 10,000 between 2008 and 2018. In a similar time period, expenditure on fire-protection services in the UK was cut from 3.11 billion in 2009/10, to just 2.72 billion in 2018/19. Workplace fatalities also declining The fall in fire-related fatalities since the 1980s is evidence that the UK has become an increasingly safe society in recent decades. The significant fall in workplace deaths is also evidence of this, with fatal injuries at work declining from 651 in 1974 to just 138 in 2023/24. Injuries to workers have also fallen, with incidents almost halving between 2000/01 and 2023/24. The large shift from more dangerous jobs in manufacturing, production, and agriculture to service-orientated roles also certainly play a role in this decline as well.

Incident-based fire statistics, by type of fire incident, Canada, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, Yukon, Canadian Armed Forces, 2005 to 2021.

This dataset supports the State of Wildfires 2023-24 report under review at Earth System Science Data Discussions (Jones et al., under review, https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-2024-218). The dataset provides annual data and final-year anomalies in burned area (BA), fire carbon (C) emissions, and fire properties (e.g. distributional statistics for fire count, size, rate of growth). Annual data relate to the global fire season defined as March-February (e.g., March 2023-February 2024), aligning with an annuall lull in the global fire calendar (see Jones et al., 2024). The complete methodology is described by Jones et al. (2024).

Regional Analysis

We performed "cookie-cutting" (spatial and temporal masking) of the above input data sets to features in each of the following regional layers (e.g. per country in the "Countries" layer).

The statistics derived from cookie-cutting are listed below. Full details in Jones et al. (2024).

In 2021, there were around 174,000 highway vehicle fires reported in the United States. This is a slight increase from the previous year, where there were 173,000 highway vehicle fires reported across the country.

The global economic damages from wildfires reached around *** billion U.S. dollars in 2023. Although this was a considerable increase from the previous year, it was still far below the economic impact registered in 2018, when the damages from wildfires surpassed ** billion U.S. dollars.

Portugal has been the European country most affected by wildfires over the past decade. Between 2009 and 2023, an average area of over 93,731 hectares was burned every year. Furthermore, 2017 saw the greatest area lost to wildfires in a single year, with the rapidly spreading wildfires from June 17 to 24 in Central Portugal among the most deadly in recent history – 66 people were confirmed to have been killed. As of December 2024, the size of wildfire-burnt area that year was around 143,313 hectares, a considerable increase from the previous year.

In 2024, over 190,000 wildfire outbreaks were reported in the Legal Amazon region in Brazil. In comparison to the previous year, this represented an increase of over 51 percent. Within the displayed period, the highest number of outbreaks was recorded in 2004, when more than 275,000 occurrences were registered.The Legal Amazon (or Amazônia Legal, in Portuguese) is an area comprising the territory of nine Brazilian states in the Amazon basin: Acre, Amapá, Amazonas, Maranhão, Mato Grosso, Pará, Rondônia, Roraima, and Tocantins. Altogether, it occupies more than five million square kilometers.

In 2024, nearly 279,000 wildfire outbreaks were identified across Brazil. This represented a 46 percent increase in occurrences compared to the previous year. Roughly half of the country's forest fires that year were located in the Amazon rainforest biome.
