Borough comparison
Ten highest recorded fire counts
Counts are not adjusted for population, land area, visitor numbers, building stock or incident exposure. Westminster’s daytime and visitor population, for example, differs substantially from a mainly residential borough.

Method and limitations
How this dashboard was produced
The official “LFB Incident data from 2024 onwards” workbook was filtered to calendar year 2025. All-incident totals use every record; fire charts use records whose incident group is “Fire”. Boroughs use LFB’s incident geography and property categories use the published category field.
- Records can be corrected or reclassified after this snapshot.
- Raw counts are not rates and should not be used as a league table of safety.
- An attended incident does not establish whether a dutyholder complied with fire-safety law.
- Small differences from another publication can result from extraction timing or revised records.
