Dear Robert,

Further to your request of 13^th February 23, which we have treated as a
Freedom of Information request, please find below our response to the
information you requested.

Query and Response:

How many wholetime firefighter recruits courses were run in each service
in 1992? Please give a start date, duration of the course(s) and state
whether these courses were residential or non-residential.

In accordance with our set retention periods we only hold course
information for three years once superseded by a new course, therefore we
no longer hold this information.

I trust this answers your queries, however if you are unhappy with the
service you have received in relation to your request and wish to make a
complaint or request a review of the decision, you should write to the
Information Management Team, Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service,
Five Rivers Health and Wellbeing Centre, Hulse Road, Salisbury,
Wiltshire SP1 3NR within 40 working days of receipt of the original
decision. Alternatively you can email
[1][email address]  

 If you are not content with the outcome of your complaint or review, you
may apply directly to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) for a
decision. Generally the ICO cannot make a decision unless you have
exhausted the complaints procedure at the Fire Authority. The ICO can be
contacted at:
