Fires caused by electric blankets and plug-in electric heaters - Find a freedom of information request

Request

1) The number of calls to fires caused by electric blankets.

2) the number of calls to fires caused by plug-in electric heaters. 

I would like the data from January 2017 until as recently as records allow. I would like the data to be broken down as follows:

In both cases would like to know, in total, how many calls there were in each year: 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021.

For 2022 and 2023, I would like a month-by-month breakdown of the number of calls.

In both cases, I would also like to know, in each year, the ages of the callers, if this information is held. If it is not, please omit.

3) I would like for you to provide a case summary of the last five callouts; five for blankets and five for heaters. In this instance, I would like to know any details you hold about the calls, even if they are just brief notes.
