I am conducting research into the impact of disposable BBQs on people, animals, buildings and the environment across the UK. I am carrying out this research on behalf of Keep Britain Tidy, who are currently campaigning to remove ignition risks from the environment.

1. I request to be supplied with data on the causes of fires reported to Lincolnshire Fire & Rescue Service, including but not limited to those started by disposable BBQs, cigarette litter, broken/discarded glass bottles and sky lanterns.

2. I also request information on the duration and damage caused by those fires and the cost incurred by your service.

I request that this data is broken down at least by month, for the last 24 months.
