Our Response

Answer: - 1 incident recorded in 2025 and 1 in 2024. This can only be determined by looking at the narrative log and comments of our incident records.

However, the incident in 2025 was in a private dwelling (garage), the fire was started by electrical wiring and it can't be determined if the storage system was involved or not.

The 2025 incident related to a ‘Other Public Utility’, electrical fault caused minimal damage and activated suppression system. PIHF handed out to engineers on site.
