Mole Valley in the Surrey comparison
Raw totals reflect service demand as well as population, roads, land use, premises and reporting. They must not be interpreted as a safety league table.
The population-context figure combines the 2025 incident count with the Census 2021 population of 87,386. It is descriptive context, not a current risk rate or a measure of compliance.

Fire risk assessment considerations in Mole Valley
A local incident total cannot define the assessment scope. The building’s use, people, layout, construction, management and existing fire precautions remain decisive.
Rural and heritage premises
Older construction, conversions, distance and access can affect both precautions and inspection planning.
Business and industrial premises
Process hazards, storage, charging and shared estates require an assessor familiar with the actual operation.
Hospitality and sleeping risk
Guests unfamiliar with the premises need suitable warning, escape information and management at all occupied times.
