Communities and Local Government written question – answered at on 15 July 2009.
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what steps fire authorities have taken to examine the causes of wheeled refuse container fires; and if he will make a statement.
All fires are investigated by fire and rescue services and a most likely cause is determined either by the incident commander or a fire investigation officer.
Local analysis of fire data is undertaken within fire and rescue services to determine trends, such as geographical locations or types of incident, and to inform the Integrated Risk Management Planning process. These data are used internally and are not shared with Communities and Local Government.
