NFRS 2022 111 - Electrical blankets
You asked for:
The number of calls to fires caused by electric blankets.
And 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.
Furthermore, I would like for you to provide a case summary of the last five callouts; five for blankets and five for heaters.
