- How much money spent tackling forest/woodland fires in the years 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015
We do not record the cost of incidents.  This can be particularly difficult to estimate given the fixed and variable costs.
- How much time in minutes spent tackling forest/woodland fires in the years 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015
We do not record the time spent tackling fire.  We have included the table below which identified when the first appliance arrived and when the last appliance departed.  Column “time at scene all apps” is the length of that time.
Please note, that for some protracted incidents, resources will leave and/or return several times and if the incident was extinguished resources may return to make sure the fire is out (this is called visiting duties).  The length of time shown below cannot be used to determine the length of time fighting fire.
