Number of false alarms per 10,000 population - quarterly (995) Metric type
- Help text
- The number of false alarms is an event in which the fire and rescue service believes they are called to a reportable fire and then find there is no such incident. False alarms are categorised as:
Malicious – the call was made with the intention of getting the fire and rescue service to attend a non-existent fire-related event. This includes ‘deliberate’ and ‘suspected malicious’ intentions.
Good Intent – the call was made in good faith in the belief that the fire and rescue service really would attend a fire.
Due to Apparatus – the call was initiated by fire alarm and firefighting equipment operating (including accidental initiation of alarm apparatus by person).
