Please note information related to registration and fleet numbers is exempt under Section 38 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 as disclosing this information is likely to endanger individual fire service personnel. These identifiers specifically identify individual resources that may respond to incidents related to community resilience or counter terrorism with other agencies. By publishing registration could expose vulnerabilities in resilience arrangements and thus endanger fire-fighter safety. It is acknowledged that these could be collected by the requester visiting each station separately but this would require significant effort on behalf of the requester.
Request.
