Request detail:

The information I am seeking relates directly to vehicles which have caught fire either while parked or while in use. An example would be a car which catches fire while parked outside a house or a car which catches fire while driving along the road.

I would like information held by Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service broken down into the following categories:
Type/Class of vehicle (such as Car/SUV/MPV/Van/HGV)
Make: (Such as Ford/Vauxhall/Mercedes/LandRover)
Model: (Such as Mondeo/Corsa/E-Class/Discovery)
Fuel: (Such as Petrol/Diesel/LPG/Hydrogen/Hybrid/Electric)
I would also like information as to whether the vehicle fire caused any casualties / fatalities or caused damage to other vehicles / buildings.
