Please find attached the data requested.
We have provided information that we hold for council owned buildings, which are accessible by the general public.
This does not include council owned dwellings as these properties would be recorded on our system as residential properties.
There is no information to signify the ownership of residential properties on the data that we hold.
There are no records on the incidents that we have attended, of any injuries or fatalities occurring at the incidents.
This information reflects the crews’ observations/actions while at the scene.
Post incident information concerning any victims is not always captured in the data that we hold.
We hope this information is useful to you.
