I am writing to make a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Please provide me with the following information:

  1. The number of calls made to your fire service relating to incidents on Bonfire Night (5th November) for each of the last three years (2021, 2022, and 2023).
  2. The number of incidents your fire service actually attended after being called out on Bonfire Night (5th November) for each of the last three years (2021, 2022, and 2023).
  3. The total cost to your fire service of attending firework-related incidents for each of the last three financial years (2021-22, 2022-23, and 2023-24).

Please provide this data separately for each year so that a year-on-year comparison can be made.
