Request

Dear Information Officer, I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Please provide the following recorded information held by the London Fire Brigade regarding the flat and balcony fire that occurred at Blueberry Court, Broadis Way / Lowen Road, Rainham, RM13 8JY on 24 October 2025 (Incident logged at approximately 05:45am): 1. Incident Timeline & Data logs: The complete Incident Recording System (IRS) log data, incident summary, and any detailed timeline recorded by responding crews or control room staff regarding the origin, timeline, and physical spread of the fire. 2. Fire Investigation / Materials Assessment: Copies of any post-incident fire investigation reports, structural/materials assessments, or internal investigator notes regarding the cause and spread of the fire. This includes any specific recorded assessments, sections, or mentions detailing whether external materials—specifically balcony timber decking—contributed to or factored into the vertical or horizontal spread of the flames. 3. Call-Out & Communication Logs: All mobilization data, radio logs, and incident command logs for this specific call-out. 4. Clarion Housing / False Alarm Communications: Copies of all correspondence, notices, telemetry data, or reports held by the LFB regarding false alarms, faulty sensors, or automated fire alarm communications linked to Blueberry Court or Clarion Housing at this location for the 12 months preceding the incident (24 October 2024 to 24 October 2025). 5. Visual Records: Copies of any incident photographs, thermal imaging captures, or video footage captured by LFB personnel or official equipment during the incident response and subsequent investigation. If a formal Fire Investigation Report is subject to a statutory fee or separate disclosure regime under Section 21 of the Act, please disclose the remaining parts of this request (such as the raw logs, email correspondence, and internal data entries) which do not fall under that regime. I would prefer to receive this information in an electronic format delivered to the email address provided. If any part of this request is withheld under an exemption, please specify which exemption applies and provide a breakdown of the redacted sections. Thank you for your time and assistance.
