Please can you provide me with the following information for the annual years 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 (up until the date this email is received).

Please provide the figures by year. e.g. for the first bullet point, 2018: 50 properties, 2019: 41 properties, 2018: 13 properties etc.

  1. The number of properties your fire service has been called out to as a result of a gas explosion, compressed gas, or a gas leak evacuation.

  3. The number of people evacuated as a result of a gas explosion, compressed gas, or gas leak. Similarly can I have that number broken down by category.
