Fire fighter injuries
Dear London Fire Commissioner (London Fire Brigade),
In the fire statistics data tables from the Gov.uk web site, tables FIRE 0508b give fire fighter injuries for all Fire Authorities. Within this, it states that the exact figures for which incidents London Firefighters were injured at (2016/17) are estimated, as London could not be specific as to which type of incident the injuries occured at, i.e. at a fire or special service.
Please could you provide me with the up to date information as to which type of incident the injury occured at.
Please could you inform me if it was an ordinary RIDDOR or a MAJOR injury as defined within that data sheet.
Yours faithfully,
Joseph Villiers
