The following table lists the total number of ‘fire incidents’ reported in the incident report system at young offender institutions in England and Wales in each of the last five years. Fire incidents may be actual fires but could, for example, include mischievous activation of fire alarms. To ascertain whether the incident was an actual fire would require the analysis of each incident report, which could be obtained only at disproportionate cost. The data is held in financial years.
