For the last few years, we have also been using a computer modelling system to predict risk. We are increasingly usingthis information to target our activities where it is most needed, both through operational response and community safety work.The following table outlines our performance over the past 5 years for a number of the existing KPIs (Key Performance Indicators).Key IndicatorsNumber of accidental fire deaths indwelling fires*(* Figures subject to state pathologist report)Number of serious civilian injuries in dwellingfires**(** Figures subject to outstanding Fire Reports)Number of accidental dwelling firesNumber of deliberate primary firesNumber of deliberate secondary firesPercentage of working smoke alarms inprivate dwellingsWorking days/shifts lost to sickness absenceby all staffTargetPerformance06/07 07/08 08/09 09/10 10/11Reduce the number of accidental fire deaths in private dwellings. 13 7 9 7 11*Reduce by 2% year on year (10% reduction by 2015) the number ofnon-fatal casualties in accidental dwelling fires (excluding precautionarychecks and treated at scene) per 100,000 population from the 09/10baseline (131).Reduce the number of accidental dwelling fires by 2% year onyear (10% reduction by 2015) from the 09/10 baseline (819).Reduce by 2% year on year (10% reduction by 2015) the number ofdeliberate primary fires from the 09/10 baseline (2039).Reduce by 4% year on year (20% reduction by 2015) the number ofdeliberate secondary fires from the baseline average figure ofthe last five years (10,571).Achieve and maintain a 98% smoke alarm ownership inprivate dwellings.181 134 142 131 137**829 837 822 819 8062,761 2,673 2,180 2,039 1,83211,329 11,442 10,119 9210 10,36098% 94% 94% 99% 99%Achieve an average of 7 days/shift lost per year by 2015. 11.8 10.4 8.2 8.6 9.19
