In the EU FIRESTAT project Closing Data Gaps and Paving the Way for Pan-European Fire Safety Efforts, a decisive contribution was made to getting Europe-wide uniform statistics off the ground.
The following documents are available to obtain comprehensive information on this:
-
Closing Data Gaps and Paving the Way for Pan-European Fire Safety Efforts: The final report
- Closing Data Gaps and Paving the Way for Pan-European Fire Safety Efforts: Part I—Overview of
Current Practices for Fire Statistics

The CTIF Centre for World Fire Statistics ( CFS) sends out an annual questionnaire to compile the World Fire Brigade Statistics.
Over the past decades, all participating countries have intuitively completed this questionnaire. The results of the data collection are unique in the world. Now various states are sending more questions.
In terms of content, these inquiries are aimed at the comparability of the figures. The problem of definitions is increasingly coming to the forefront. The CFS has been active on this problem in recent years.
