The complainant has requested from London Fire Brigade, a copy of its report of a fire at his property. London Fire Brigade refused the request, on the grounds that provision of the report constituted a chargeable service under the Fire and Rescue Services Act 2004, and therefore that the information was exempt from disclosure under section 21 (information accessible to applicant by other means) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that London Fire Brigade was entitled to refuse the request under section 21 of the FOIA
