Request detail:
I write to make the following request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
I would like the service to provide me with details of the Retained/On-Call fire appliances availability over the most recent 12-month period, stipulating the amount of time these appliances were ‘off the run’ (unavailable) to respond to an emergency.
I would like these details to be broken down into the number of hours per month that an appliance has been unavailable on a station-by-station basis and expressed as a percentage figure.
In addition, and if possible, could the reason why the appliances were unavailable be included: i.e., lack of crew; lack of Officer in Charge; lack of driver etc?
Response detail:
Please find attached the excel document containing the FOI request data. We are unable to provide the reason of unavailability.
Please accept our apologies in the delay in returning the FOI request.
