A survey completed in 2004/2005 in the United Kingdom reveled that in many cases, fires in the home are not reported to the Fire and Rescue Service (FRS). The survey found that this was usually because the fire was extinguished by a person in the home or there were no injuries.
The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM) conducted the Survey of English Housing (SEH) and the findings were recently released in a report called Fires in the Home: Findings from the 2004/05 Survey of English Housing.
