Incident number - 011791-17012026 - RECYCLING POINT AT ALDWYCH BUILDINGS, PARKER MEWS, LONDON, CAMDEN, WC2B 5NT I also request, as a separate request under FOIA and, where applicable, the Environmental Information Regulations, any recorded information showing whether LFB notified, reported or raised with Camden Council any concern about the emergency-access gate, emergency vehicle/personnel access or associated fire-safety risks arising from the incident of 17 January 2026. Please include any relevant correspondence, incident referrals, fire-safety notifications, recommendations or records of communication with Camden Council, where held. If no such communications are held, please confirm this. The effectiveness of emergency access to occupied residential premises is a significant safety concern.

Dear Sir or Madam, Request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 The motor yacht Phi, and West India and Millwall Docks I am writing to request the following information. Where any part of it constitutes environmental information within the meaning of regulation 2(1) of the Environmental Information Regulations 2004, I ask that it be handled under those Regulations instead. My request concerns the motor yacht Phi, a vessel of approximately 58 metres which has been berthed in the West India and Millwall Docks on the Isle of Dogs since March 2022, when it was detained under directions made under the Russia (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019. It remains berthed there, unused, and I understand it has been largely unmanned for much of that time. Unless stated otherwise, my request covers the period from 1 March 2022 to the date on which you process it. 1. Incident reports concerning the vessel Please tell me whether the Brigade holds any record of an incident, mobilisation, attendance, call or false alarm relating to Phi, and if so provide: (a) the incident record for each, including the date and time, the incident type as recorded, the resources mobilised, and the narrative or closing remarks entered by the incident commander; (b) the corresponding entry or return made to the Home Office Incident Recording System; and (c) any post-incident report, debrief or investigation report. If the Brigade holds no such record, please confirm that expressly. If records exist but are held under a different vessel name, berth reference or address rather than the vessel's name, I would be grateful if you would search on the basis of the berth and location as well. 2. Fire risk assessment of the vessel Please tell me whether the Brigade has carried out, commissioned, reviewed or received any fire risk assessment, fire safety audit, fire safety inspection or equivalent assessment in relation to Phi, and if so provide it together with its date. So that I understand the regulatory position rather than only the record position, please also tell me: (a) whether the Brigade considers the vessel, while berthed in an impounded dock in this way, to fall within the scope of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and if so who it regards as the responsible person; (b) if the Brigade considers the vessel to fall outside that Order, which body it understands to be responsible for fire safety on board; and (c) whether the vessel has at any point been the subject of a complaint, referral or request for advice made to the Brigade, and if so provide the record of it and of any action taken. 3. The docks In relation to West India and Millwall Docks, including Blackwall Basin, South Dock, Millwall Inner and Outer Docks and West India Quay, please provide: (a) any site specific risk information, operational risk database entry, tactical plan or pre-determined attendance record held by the Brigade for the docks or the moorings within them, including any record of when it was last reviewed; (b) any fire risk assessment, fire safety audit or inspection record relating to the dock estate or its mooring operations, and the date of each; (c) any risk assessment or operational plan concerning firefighting on or rescue from vessels within the docks, including any assessment of access, water supply, appliance positioning or the capability required to fight a fire aboard a large vessel there; and (d) any record of the Brigade identifying the docks, or vessels berthed in them, as presenting a particular or elevated risk. 4. Correspondence Please provide any correspondence between the Brigade and the Canal & River Trust, the Port of London Authority, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, the Department for Transport, the Metropolitan Police, the London Borough of Tower Hamlets or the marina operator that mentions Phi, or that concerns fire risk from vessels berthed in these docks. 5. Capability Please provide any internal assessment, briefing or review held by the Brigade concerning its capability to respond to a fire aboard a large vessel in the enclosed docks of the Isle of Dogs, including any document identifying limitations, resource gaps or reliance on other agencies, and any document concerning the availability of marine or fireboat resources to reach vessels inside the impounded dock system. General Where a document is already published, a link is sufficient. I am content to receive everything electronically. I recognise that operational risk information may engage exemptions relating to public safety, security or health and safety, and that third party details may constitute personal data. Where that applies, I ask that documents be provided in redacted form rather than withheld in full, and that you identify the specific exemption relied upon for each item together with your public interest assessment. My interest is in whether the risk presented by this vessel has been assessed at all and by whom, rather than in operational detail that would assist anyone seeking to cause harm. If you consider that any part of this request would exceed the appropriate limit under section 12, please tell me which part and contact me under section 16 so that I can narrow it. My priority order is item 1, then item 2, then item 3, then items 4 and 5. If the Brigade does not hold information falling within an item but knows which body does, I would be grateful if you would tell me under section 16.

Contemporaneous reporting by Inside Housing states that the London Fire Brigade served an enforcement notice in respect of Rennie Court in August 2017 on Kings Reach Flats Management. I would be grateful if you could provide the following information and records held by LFB in relation to that enforcement action: 1. The August 2017 Enforcement Notice A complete copy of the enforcement notice served in August 2017 in respect of Rennie Court, including any schedules, appendices or other documents forming part of the notice. 2. Fire-safety deficiencies identified Any Notification of Deficiencies, schedule of deficiencies or other document recording the fire-safety deficiencies identified by LFB in connection with the inspection/audit which resulted in the August 2017 enforcement notice. In particular, I am seeking any recorded information identifying the nature and location of the deficiencies and whether these concerned or included: * compartmentation or fire-resisting separation; * fire-stopping; * concealed spaces or voids; * service penetrations; * service risers, shafts or vertical service arrangements; and/or * conditions within individual residential flats. 3. Fire Safety Audit Please provide the outcome and recorded findings of the Fire Safety Audit or inspection which resulted in the August 2017 enforcement notice, including the date of the inspection/audit and its recorded outcome or classification. If LFB considers that the underlying Fire Safety Audit report itself is exempt from disclosure, please nevertheless provide any non-exempt information capable of being disclosed from it, together with the applicable exemption and reasons for withholding the remainder. 4. Action taken in response to the Enforcement Notice Please provide any records identifying the remedial action which Kings Reach Flats Management stated or demonstrated had been undertaken in response to the enforcement notice, including any: * schedule of remedial works; * response to the enforcement notice; * evidence or notification of compliance; * subsequent inspection or revisit record; * record of outstanding items; and * record confirming whether and when LFB considered the requirements of the enforcement notice to have been complied with. 5. Subsequent inspection and closure/compliance Please provide the date and outcome of any subsequent LFB inspection, audit or review undertaken to establish whether the requirements of the August 2017 enforcement notice had been complied with. Please also provide any record confirming the eventual status or outcome of the enforcement notice, including the date upon which LFB recorded the required remedial action as completed or otherwise considered the matter concluded, if such a record is held. 6. Scope of inspection – residential flats and compartmentation Please provide any recorded information showing: * whether individual residential flats within Rennie Court were inspected in connection with the 2017 inspection, enforcement action or subsequent compliance process and, if so, which flats were inspected; * the areas of the building included within the scope of the inspection/audit; * whether compartmentation, fire-stopping, concealed spaces or voids, service penetrations, service risers, shafts or other vertical service arrangements within individual flats were within the scope of the inspection/audit or subsequent remedial verification; * whether any subsequent inspections or visits were undertaken and, if so, their scope and outcome; and * whether any intrusive inspection, compartmentation survey or other specialist fire-safety investigation was undertaken or considered. For clarity, I am seeking recorded information already held by LFB and am not asking LFB to provide a new technical opinion or undertake any new assessment. If any of the requested information is withheld in whole or in part, please identify the relevant statutory exception or exemption and provide the remainder of the information to the extent that it can reasonably be separated from exempt material. If any requested document or information is no longer held, I would be grateful if you could confirm that fact. I am happy for this request to be considered under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and/or the Environmental Information Regulations 2004, as LFB considers appropriate.
