Highest Number of Fire Station Call Outs 2014 - 2021 - Find a freedom of information request

Request

With regards to your fire service between the dates of 01 January 2014 – 31 May 2021 can you tell me what was your busiest fire station and the number of call outs and also the least busiest and number of call outs.

Decision

Data is provided for the period 01 April 2014 – 31 May 2021. Data is not available for the January to March 2014 period.

The busiest fire station for the entire period is Lincoln South with 7,652 callouts. The number of callouts will be higher than the number of incidents as callout includes each appliance/vehicle attending from a station.

The least busy station for the entire period is Bardney with 320 callouts. Again, the number of callouts will be higher than the number of incidents as it will include each appliance/vehicle attending. It should be noted that attendance to Medical emergencies (Co-responder attendances) have been excluded from these counts as not all Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue (LFR) stations carry out co-responder duties and thus the figures would not be consistent across all stations.

If medical emergencies are included then the busiest station is Skegness with 8,280 and the least busy is Waddington with 364.
