2. Of the school fires you attended in this period, how many had sprinklers fitted?

a. type of school e.g. primary, secondary
b. Any injuries or deaths
c. Extent of damage to school

e. Whether cladding was present
f. How many of the schools at the time the fire broke out had received a low, medium or high fire risk assessment (or alternative classification if used)?
5. How many school fire risk assessments have you carried out in the last five full years (2014-2019 or alternative period if not available)?
