Availability of crew or fire appliances (FOI)

Request

A

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.

B

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.

C

In addition, and if possible, could the reason why the appliances were unavailable be included: ie, lack of crew, lack of Officer in Charge, lack of driver and so on?

Response

A to C

Over the past 12 months there has not been any period where the crew or appliances have been unavailable.
