Fire in Keelby on Sunday 25th June 2023 - Find a freedom of information request

Request

I would like to request some information if I may regarding a Fire in Keelby on Sunday 25th June at 16:25 hrs.

1. How long did it take Binbrook to book in attendance from TOC and why were they even mobilised ?

2. Why did the first two pumps come from Immingham East as both were available and on station ?

Caistor I do get as a third pump although Grimsby would have had a 5 minute jump on them from turnout making them closer on vision again? 

Decision

1. 20 minutes and 30 seconds after initial call. The initial pick from the vision system highlighted two appliances from Lincolnshire (Caistor and Binbrook) and also showed Immingham appliance as available with an 11 minute response time, Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue (LFR) mobilised both Lincolnshire's pumps and also contacted Humberside to request the Immingham appliance however there was a delay in being enacted.

2. They didn't they came from Caistor and Binbrook.

Caistor I do get as a third pump although Grimsby would have had a 5 minute jump on them from turnout making them closer on vision again?

Possibly however as LFR were able to turnout it’s resources before requesting resources from Humberside the decision was to go with Caistor
