All known 01\12\2017 to 31\01\2018 building and non-crashed car fires. It's Just a new year's thought.

Overview
A structure fire or building fire is a fire involving the structural components of various types of residential, commercial or industrial buildings. Residential buildings range from single-family detached homes and townhouses to apartments and tower blocks, or various commercial buildings ranging from offices to shopping malls. This is in contrast to "room and contents" fires, chimney fires, vehicle fires, wildfires or other outdoor fires.

Structure fires typically have a similar response from the fire department that include engines, ladder trucks, rescue squads, chief officers, and an EMS unit, each of which will have specific initial assignments. The actual response and assignments will vary between fire departments.

It is not unusual for some fire departments to have a pre-determined mobilisation plan for when a fire incident is reported in certain structures in their area. This plan may include mobilising the nearest aerial firefighting vehicle to a tower block, or a foam-carrying vehicle to structures known to contain certain hazardous chemicals.

December and early January are a top time for domestic fires due to the cold and the festive season, but this year some-one seems to be going crazy 'torching' places in the UK, Kenya, New Jersey and New York State. For that reason I logging the cases here out of curiosity and the need to get to the bottom of it all.
