Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. I can confirm that Essex County Fire & Rescue Service does hold this information. Please see below the answers to your request.

Initial Request:

1. How many workplace fires has your fire service attended in the last 3 years? Are workplace fires categorised by location?  If so, please provide data in that manner, e.g.fires in office building, fires in warehouse etc.

I do not need geographical location apart from the fact that they are in your area.

2. What were the reasons for attending these fires? Please provide categories for these for example, false alarms, fires in bins from cigarettes, faulty electrical, etc.

I do not require anything physical sent to me, data in spreadsheets over email will work fine.
