How come there several categories of building which have more fires per
1,000 buildings between 11 and 18m tall than there are for all buildings
Â*in the category regardless of height?

It would help to know just which figures you have in mind. But footnote
29 to para 33 seemed to me a reasonable explanation:

"29 The analysis was designed to explore the relative rate of fires
across different types of building and did not take into account the
number of individual dwellings or occupants within each building.
Therefore, although some building types have higher rates of fires than
others this is likely to be because of the higher occupancy rates in
larger buildings."
