I am requesting incident-level records of grassland, woodland, crop, and other
vegetation/wildland fires — i.e. fires you classify under the “grassland, woodland
and crop fires” category used in your returns to the Home Office Incident Recording
System / MHCLG Fire and Rescue Data Platform — for the most recent 5 full financial
years for which data is available, with the following fields per incident where held:
1. Date and time of call/attendance.
2. Location, at the finest real geographic precision you hold — ideally an OS grid reference or postcode;
failing that, the incident ground/street-level location description already
recorded in your Incident Recording System entry.
3. Estimated area affected (hectares, or your recorded size band), where held.
4. Motive/cause classification (accidental / deliberate / undetermined).
5. Whether the incident was recorded as a “major incident”.
Why at this resolution: vegetation-fire counts by motive are already published at
Fire-and-Rescue-Authority-area level. I am requesting only the finer-than-FRA-area
location detail that the aggregate tables do not include, for small-area (LSOA-scale
or finer) fire-risk research. This is not a repeat of data already public.
A spreadsheet (CSV or XLSX) is ideal. If any part would exceed the cost limit, please
advise which fields or years are feasible within it rather than refusing the whole
request. I need no personal data — only the incident attributes above.
Thank you for your request for information concerning vegetation/wildland fire incidents over the five most recent complete financial years.Â
