Reducing accidental fires in the home Modernisation of the fire service put
clear focus on prevention as well as response
Strategy for HFSVs started in 2003 Yearly target of approx 65,000 visits
With 3.5 million homes in London and around 6,500 fires in the home, visits must be effectively targeted to reduce risks• 3.25 percent of homes visited to date

Problems with targeting – where
Incident locations vary year-to-year• Accidental dwelling fires for Southwark 2005, 2006 &
2007

Problems with targeting – who
CLG ‘at risk groups’ defined from those fires that cause greatest harm
Broad descriptions cannot easily be translated into ‘real people’ • Older people• Children and young people• Ethnic minorities or faith groups• People with learning or physical
disabilities• People with alcohol or drug use
problems• People with mental illness• People in poor housing

Solution
Develop a risk model that combines our incident data with what we know about people, their society and their environment in such a way that we can predict the ‘real’ level of risk (incident likelihood)
Use consumer profiling to describe (and locate) ‘at risk groups’ by lifestyle
….which we call iRAT

What is iRAT?
An Incident Risk Analysis Toolkit
A statistical approach to analysing the occurrence of incidents
A way of combining data about incidents, people, society and geography
Prioritising households by lifestyles
A systematic way to deliver prevention activities in the areas of highest likelihood to those who experience incidents most often

Prioritising households using Mosaic
![Page 14: Targeting home fire safety checks Andy Mobbs - London Fire Brigade Risk Information Team February 2008](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551602e7550346cf6f8b5c33/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What is Mosaic?
A commercially available consumer profiling database
“Its comprehensive analysis of citizens at postcode and household level provides deep insight into the socio-demographics, lifestyles, culture and behaviour of UK citizens”
Detailed lifestyle profiles together with preferences for marketing communications
“Additionally, it provides a ‘common currency’ that enables the same citizen to be viewed in the same way by all public bodies, supporting joined-up government and partnership working”

Comparing Mosaic groups with accidental fires in the home
Previous targeting has focused on what we have learnt about fire death and injury
But this targets the consequence of fire and not necessarily those who are most at risk of a fire occurring
Less is known about those who experience fire but are not harmed by it
Approximation using consumer profiling
More complete profile of people that does not focus on one single factor
• Age or ethnicity or deprivation

Taking the work forward
Accessibility of mapped data• Priority postcode data
Mistrust of statistics Confusion between ‘at risk’,
‘prevalence vs. proportions’ and ‘risk reduction’
Need to refine Mosaic by using type analysis
Applying Mosaic to other incident types
