The total number of fires has been adjusted by DEMA for 2007 and 2008
by adding 10 and 58 fires to the total respectively. The activity data for
building and vehicle fires is adjusted for all years 1990-2005 because the
calculation is now also based on the detailed data for year 2009. The total
number of building fires has with this recalculation increased with
0.69 – 0.70 %.
The total number of vehicle fires has increased more drastically with the
peek of 7.1 % in 1993. This increase is caused by a change in data delivery
of the population of the different vehicle types. This change in input
data is also described in chapter 3.3 Transport and other mobile sources.

Activity data for accidental building fires is given by The Danish Emergency
Management Agency (DEMA). Fires are categorised to three extents,
large, medium and small. A large fire is in this context defined as
a fire that involves the use of two or more fire hoses for fire extinguishing
and is assumed to typically involve a complete house, one or more
apartments, or at least part of an industrial complex. A medium size fire
is in this context defined as a fire involving the use of only 1 fire hose
