On balance, we do not consider there is any public interest met by disclosure which would outweigh
the privacy interests in this information. Therefore, your request is refused in ful pursuant to
section 9(2)(a) of the OIA, to protect the privacy of natural persons.
You have the right, by way of complaint under section 28(3) of the OIA, to request an investigation
and review of Fire and Emergency’s decision to withhold information by the Ombudsman.
