Request
I am writing regarding the London Fire Brigade’s publicly available incident and mobilisation datasets. I am seeking to establish whether the Brigade has any records of fire incidents or emergency attendances at XX during the period 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2023. I have consulted the published incident listings for the London Borough of Havering but have been unable to identify any relevant incidents. Could you please assist by checking the underlying incident and appliance mobilisation datasets and confirming: 1. Whether any fire incidents were recorded at XX, including the associated building site, garden or adjoining passageway. 2. Whether any fire appliances were mobilised to or attended either address during that period. 3. Whether any incidents were recorded under XX generally, No. X or another neighbouring address that might relate to a fire at No. X. 4. If any matching incidents exist, their dates, incident reference numbers, classifications and recorded locations. If no matching records exist, I would be grateful for express confirmation of that fact, together with an indication of whether the search covers all recorded incidents and appliance mobilisations during the relevant period. This enquiry arises from a witness statement served in ongoing County Court proceedings alleging two substantial fires at No. X, on both occasions involving attendance by the London Fire Brigade. I am seeking to verify those allegations against the Brigade’s contemporaneous operational records. I am not requesting personal information or detailed incident reports. At this stage, I simply require confirmation of whether any relevant incidents or attendances were recorded. The matter is time-sensitive, with a trial listed for 21 January 2027. I would therefore appreciate any assistance you can provide promptly. If this enquiry needs to be dealt with by your Information Access Team, please forward it accordingly.
