Final response:
1. How many firemen/women have committed suicide while still employed by the force in the last four years?
We are aware of two completed suicides.
2. How many former firemen/women have committed suicide in the last four years?
We do not hold records regarding the causes of death of former employees.
3. How many firemen/women have attempted suicide in the last four years while still employed by the force?
We do not hold records regarding attempted suicides.
Because of the low numbers, we would not be able to provide a breakdown by year as this could potentially identify individuals.
