Thank you for your Freedom of Information request. Please find attached spreadsheet with the information requested.
With regard to cost of responding to each incident an indicative cost can be worked out for each rescue which is based upon the equivalent special services charges tariff for 2020/21 (please follow the link: https://www.shropshirefire.gov.uk/special-services-charges-202021 ). This can be calculated by determining the number and type of vehicles attended and the length of time they were in attendance.
