Dear ###

We write further to your request, received 9 September 2025, which states:

"In calendar year 2025, to date..

How many 'Fire Cardiac' jobs have been poopulated in the iNet system (the computer system for dispatch and job logging)

Many thanks"

Our response to your request is as follows: The Fire and Rescue Service team searched FIRE-CARDIAC on iNet on 17th August 2025, in which 121 results were found. It should. however, be noted that this figure is not an accurate representation of the number of cardiac jobs responded to by IOMFRS crews in the time period, as the results will include duplicate entries and incidents which were ‘stood down' prior to dispatch, for example .

Please quote the reference number 4925422 in any future communications.
