Fires Seminar Series follow-on survey
Four FIRES seminars on the effects of moorland and heathland wildfires and prescribed fires on ecosystem services were held in the UK during 2008-2009, www.fires-seminars.org.uk. The series was funded jointly by ESRC and NERC.
A policy brief has been produced. It summarises the key messages from the series, policy recommendations and knowledge gaps: www.fires-seminars.org.uk/downloads/FIRES_Policy_Brief_final.pdf

Scottish Government initiated a review of the data requirements of stakeholders for fire and rescue statistics in September 2010. This was the first part of the data review, concentrating on Fire and Rescue Service topics that were not fire incidents (incidents are covered in another publication).
