Reduction of Dwelling Fires Statistical analysis has shown that the majority of dwelling house fires occur in the social rented sector. A high percentage of these fires started in the kitchen when the occupier was cooking or had cooked food. In North Lanarkshire, dwelling house fires are more prominent in several ward areas. Alcohol is also a significant contributory factor in the fires that occur. Aligns to: 0 National Indicators 6: We live longer healthier Lives. National Indicator 8: We have improved Life chances for children, young people and families at risk. National Indicator 9: We live our lives safe from crime disorder and danger. 0 National Indicator 12: We value and enjoy our built and natural environment and protect it and enhance it for future generations. 0 Single Outcome Agreement 201 3-1 8 0 North Lanarkshire Partnership Community Plan 201 3-18 We will achieve it by: 0 Using data analysis tools to ensure that: o Home Fire Safety Visits are conducted in the areas of highest operational activity. o Engagement activities are focused on areas of highest operational activity. 0 Working with partner agencies to provide risk reduction measures (fire proof bedding etc) to the people most at risk from fire. 0 Developing an Information Sharing Protocol with North Lanarkshire Council, Housing, Social Work and the National Health Service Lanarkshire to share information on the most vulnerable groups within our communities (people most at risk from fire). Our Target against our 3 year average is a 10% reduction. In doing so we will also add value by: 0 Reducing the financial burden and disruption caused to all housing tenures. 0 Reducing the personal and social impact of fire on our communities. 0 Promoting the wider community safety message to the residents of North Lanarkshire. = Accidental Dwelling Fires 3year 2012/13 2013/14 Average Target 41Page 1.1 North Lanarkshire Analvsis Accidental Dwelling Fires Our annual target set within the North Lanarkshire Local Area Plan for accidental dwelling fires is 253 for the repotting period. Our six month total for accidental dwelling fires currently sits at 137 which is just above our half year target of 127. This would indicate a 7% increase on the six month target. Statistical analysis concludes that the majority of dwelling fires occur within the social rented sector. A high percentage of these fires originate within the kitchen where the occupier was cooking. A combination of alcohol, drugs or distraction are seen as being a significant contributing factor in most cases. 85% of these incidents occurred between 08:OO and 23:59hrs, with Saturday to Monday the busiest days, accounting for almost 20 incidents per day. Of the 174 dwelling fires recorded, 137 were deemed as being of an accidental nature with 40% of those being directly linked to cooking. In all cases post domestic incident activities have been initiated.
