Fires caused by Christmas Tree Lights - Find a freedom of information request

Request

1. I would like to have the number of fires caused/started by lights on a Christmas tree in each of the past five years, so from 2015 to 2019.

Please, make sure that the information is in a machine readable format i.e. excel or csv.

Please provide me with figures broken down by year - i.e. separate statistics for 2015, 2016, and by local authority, in the area covered by your Fire Brigade.

 

2. In addition, where there has been a fire caused/started by lights on a Christmas tree, I would like information on the damage caused, the cost of damage and any injuries or fatalities as a result of the fire.

Decision

Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue does not have any fires recorded as being started by lights on a Christmas tree for the last five years.
