DSAU16 Dashboard Week – Day 2: LFB Dog Incidents

This post was originally published on The Data School blog between 2018 and July 2025, before our program was renamed to MIP’s Analytics Career Accelerator. References throughout this article to “The Data School” or “DS” all refer to what is now MIP’s Analytics Career Accelerator. The program, its people, and its commitment to launching outstanding analytics careers remain the same – just under a new name.

For day 2, Bethany provided us the London Fire Brigade (LFB) dataset and encouraged us to supplement the data with a source from the London Datastore. I selected the animal rescue incidents attended by LFB as my supplementary data. Since Bethany is so wonderful, she cleaned and prepped our primary data source which meant we only needed to worry about Tableau.

For this task, I allocated myself less time to produce a dashboard that was up to DS standards. This was due to the fact that our workplace turned into a social event early on in the day leading up to the Melbourne Cup race (one too many drinks I must admit). Nevertheless, I enjoyed the good company!

As a dog lover, I focused on creating a dashboard to explore where and when dog rescue incidents by LFB occurred. The following illustrates the dashboard I pieced together.

That wraps up day 2 of our dashboard week. Thank you for reading!
