1. Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue (LFR) data retention policy is six years plus current, data prior to 2018 is not available.
Unfortunately, there is no way to define the circumstances leading to the flooding event occurring as this information is not recorded. The majority of these are likely to be because of severe weather events, but there will be a small number occurring because of situations in properties for other reasons.
Location data in longitude and latitude, and local authority is not held.
Data regarding the number of buildings affected is not held.
