Request detail

I am writing to make an open government request for all the information to which I am entitled under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

Could you please supply me with the number of fires that have been attended relating to solar / photovoltaic panels from 2010 to date. I’d be grateful if you could break this down by year.

If you don’t have a specific recording category for these, a free text search would be much appreciated.
