Request

I'm writing to request information on e-bike fires or fires caused by batteries used for e-bikes. Can the information be presented as how many fires occurred each month in the last year since August 2025 (e.g. August 2025 - 50 fires, September 2025 - 45 fires etc), to the most recent date this information is available? Also any information as to how the fires started would also be great.
