Cannich Wildfire spending breakdown: FOI release
Information requested
Under FOI can you please detail the sums spent by yourselves [FLS] in tackling the Cannich Wildfire of 2023. Please include sums such as staffing and personnel, helicopter costs and any other expenses used to extinguish the fire.
Response
Please find the below table regarding your request:
Category Sum Comment Equipment £8,155.53 Fire-specific equipment (e.g. boilsuits, gloves, face shields, etc.) Helicopter £264,132.38 Sundries £5,619.04 Water, food, sunscreen, etc. Overtime £45,000 Estimated Grand Total £322,906.95
Please note that the “Overtime” figure as shown in the table above is an estimate, as the Cannich fire overtime was combined with overtime which occurred as a result of a fire in Daviot and FLS have no way to split this aggregate. The “Grand Total” therefore also includes an estimated figure. About FOI
