Please see attached.

 

For your information “stood down” actually means “did not attend
incident”. Therefore, time the appliance left incident has been used for
end time.

 

Please note: 

 

WMFS are unable to supply actual incident numbers.  Therefore, an
anonymous reference number has been assigned to each incident. These
relate to the same incident on both tabs and therefore the data can be
combined using a lookup formula.

 

Due to the way data is recorded, stored, and retrieved, duplication may
occur if both appliance-based equipment (blue headings) and miscellaneous
equipment (green heading) are used at the same incident on equipment
tab.  

 

For example, incident reference number 7 shows three separate
miscellaneous items were used and results in the duplication of the number
BA and hosereels used.  In this case only 4 BA and 1 hosereel was used,
and not 12 BA and 3 hosereels.

 

Please note in some incidents no equipment was used. These incidents do
not feature on this list.

 

If you have any queries about this freedom of information request, please
contact us.  Please remember to quote the reference number above in any
future communications.
