Written Question
Fires
Wednesday 9th April 2025

Asked by: Baroness Smith of Llanfaes (Plaid Cymru - Life peer)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what data they collect on wildfires.

Answered by Lord Hanson of Flint - Minister of State (Home Office)

The Home Office collects data on incidents attended by Fire and Rescue Services (FRSs), including outdoor fires. However, "wildfires" is not a category recognised in the current system.

We are reviewing the incident records system, and the data it collects, and considering which categories to record in the future. Adding new categories, including wildfires, will be considered as part of this work.
