I am writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to request the following information from the fire/rescue service:
A list of incidences of wildfire (if any) tackled for each of the following years:
01 Jan 2016 to 31 December 2017,
01 Jan 2017 to 31 December 2018,
01 Jan 2018 to the current date.
Please could I have the approximate location of each wildfire, the date, the approximate volume of water spent tackling each wildfire (if information is held), and the amount of firefighters/ trucks that tackled the blaze.
Revised request:

≥ 4 Apps or Vehicles and/or
≥ 6 hours duration and/or
Flame Length ≥ 1.5 m and/or (if you measure this)
