Dear Ministry of Defence,

I would like to know what agreements are in place between the Ministry of Defence fire services and local authority fire and rescue services. Do Ministry of Defence fire crews mobilise to incidents off their establishments/estates and if so, how are they mobilised? Is there an area around their assigned establishment in which they are mobilised to civilian incidents or is it done on a case by case basis at the request of the local authority fire services?

Could you please provide information on how many incidents each MoD fire station has responded to and break them down into categories (For example: incidents on their establishment and incidents off their establishment) including the number of resources sent to the incidents. This is for the past 5 years please.

Yours faithfully,

Joel Whitaker
