Dear Oliver,

 

Further to your recent request to North Wales Fire and Rescue Service made
under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act regarding Fire Station
Callsign.  Please see the below for the response from North Wales Fire and
Rescue Service.

Please note that the information relating to call signs is being withheld
under Section 24(1) (National Security) of the Freedom of Information Act.

The National Security exemption is based on the effect the release of the
information would have and not on the information itself.  As you may be
aware, disclosure under the Act is considered to be a release of
information not only to you, but to the public at large. Call signs are
used to identify and direct Officers and vehicles at emergency incidents
and NWFRS considers that, in the wrong hands, these could be misused to
impersonate an Officer and impede or interfere with the emergency
response. Fire and Rescue Services are part of the Critical National
Infrastructure and, therefore, NWFRS has a duty to protect its assets and
provide appropriate security to ensure resilience and be able to deploy
resources accordingly.

 

If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request, you have the
right to ask for an internal review. Internal review requests should be
submitted within two months of the date of receipt of the response to your
original correspondence and should be addressed to:

 

The Freedom of Information Officer

North Wales Fire and Rescue Service Headquarters

right to appeal to the Information Commissioner at:
