This is a worrying trend that highlights the need for increased attention to fire safety in homes.

The remaining 135 fires, although without material damage, were also serious incidents, with 94 of them involving dry grass, forest litter and bushes.

Four of these operations were as a result of accidents, highlighting the multi-functional role of the teams and their readiness to respond to a wide range of emergencies.

False Calls
