FRS Area |
NFCC dataset – the area in m2 of the FRS Area |
Links to response resource allocation and rate and type of incident |
|
Motorways |
OS OpenData Vector - summarised by FRS polygon (NI Gov provides length of motorways on website) |
Rate of RTCs, rate of prevention activity, response resource allocation |
|
A-roads |
OS OpenData Vector - summarised by FRS polygon - plus OSNI 1:50,000 Road Network vector |
Rate of RTCs, rate of prevention activity, response resource allocation |
|
Open water |
OS OpenData Vector - summarised by FRS polygon - OSNI data |
Rate of water-based incidents, impact on training |
|
Coastline |
OS OpenData Vector - summarised by FRS polygon - OSNI data |
Rate of water-based incidents. Impact on training. Impacts on response resource allocation because there isn’t another FRS close by |
|
Urban Area |
ONS Urban Extents (UE) polygons used in the work described in the natural capital: urban accounts publication released on 8 August 2019. defines urban as any area “irreversibly urban in character” |
Rate of incidents, P&P activity and response resource allocation |
|
IMD lowest percentile lsoas as a % |
Converted to points per LSOA and summarised by FRS area. The Northern Ireland Multiple Deprivation Measures 2017 (NIMDM 2017) was used, but as a single country / FRS it’s a slightly misleading number |
Rate of incidents, P&P activity and response resource allocation |
|
Population Density |
Census 2011, at unitary authority level, downloaded as centroids of each UA polygon, then joined to the FRS polygon it sits within. Pop Count is summed, and then divided by FRA area |
Rate of incidents, P&P activity and response resource allocation |
|
Woodland |
Northern Ireland Environment Agency - Natural Environment Division - Priority Habitats - Woodland shapefile for NI. GB - OpenMap vector local polygons for woodland |
Increasing wildfire and woodland fires with climate change. Potential for fire loading. Remit to reduce damage to the environment.
Discussed inclusion and as there was no definitive answer about what knowledge of this makes us do differently, no data collected |
|
No. of Grade 1 listed buildings |
Number of As or 1s - Wales data not available as website link is broken - have sent email, then will have full dataset |
Protection activity, protection resource allocation. Discussed benefit of inclusion, but as this is a variable and the other data is fixed, it was decided to not include
Heritage buildings often pose firefighting challenges (old wooden buildings with lack of protection, thatched rooves etc), but also pose a greater potential loss to the environment if lost. Therefore, a greater community risk |
|
No. of Commercial properties |
OS Address base Premium Data. Using classification codes, primary classification ‘C’. Building status 1 (meaning live) |
Rate of incidents, rate of protection activity, response resource allocation |
|
No. of Residential properties |
By email and from NFCC PPRU BRR survey for England |
Given current legislative focus, this was deemed important to include. Impact on training. Impacts on response resource allocation, IT capacity
High rise response and community safety activities require specialist response plans and resources, and greater numbers of buildings over 18m will result in a CRMP cost |
|
COMAH risk |
By email and from HSE for England and Wales |
Rate of incidents, rate of prevention activity, response resource allocation, collaborative training exercises
Greater potential risk to community and specialist resources required to manage |
