persons under section 9(2)(a) of the OIA. We do not consider that there is a public interest in the release 
of the information which outweighs withholding it. We have redacted the names of the firefighters who

reported in real time as fire crews and our communication centres communicate with each other during 
the incident. They are not the official final records of incidents but word for word transcripts of ‘live’ 
situations as they occur. They may contain spelling errors or commonly used abbreviations.
