FOI 1850 - Fires caused by e-cigarettes and vapes

I would be very grateful if you could provide figures relating to fires caused by disposable e-cigarettes and vapes.  I appreciate this may not be a category you record.  It would be great if you could perform a free text search on "vape" and "e-cigarette" together with any other terms you think relevant. 

Please could you provide the information, split by the years 2020, 2021 and 2022.

Please find below the number of fires recorded in the 2020, 2021 and 2022 calendar years using the terms “VAPE” and “E CIG” as text searches. The cause of the fire is also included for additional information.
