Questions and final response:
I am writing to make a request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, to request information relating to callouts to farm fires for the past five years, from the beginning of 2015 to date
• Date of event (ideally full date, but at least month and year)
• Geographical location, e.g. postal area (as granular as possible without being disclosive of personal data)
• Cause or suspected cause (if known)
• Location of fire (ie domestic, agricultural building containing animals, out building not containing animals)
• Whether farmed animals were involved
• Types of farmed animal involved (cattle, poultry etc.)
• Farmed animals killed (Y/N)
• Number of farmed animals killed (exact number if known – although any quantification available would be useful)
Please find attached an Excel spreadsheet containing data on farm fires. We do not record data on farmed animals.
