Air fryer incidents

Request

RE: Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue Service Communications team,

I have now received a response from your FOI team on FOI 13365581

Can you please answer the following:

1. Does your Fire and Rescue Service consider air fryers an emerging fire risk?

2. Should air fryers be given a category in the IRS checklist?

3.  What approximate amount of air fryer incidents you responded to were caused by faulty or dangerous appliances, and what amount as a result of user error? (i.e. more than 50% user error?)

 

Decision

1-2. The FOI Act is for recorded information only

A valid request under FOIA should be one which asks for recorded information. Requests not requesting recorded information (asking for opinions, press statements, making a complaint) are not valid requests.

3.
