I WILL use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.
I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.
Records requested:

As noted in the emails below, the Fire Department requires a clarification
regarding the Fire Damage List, specifically, do you require commercial
and residential and the type of call (ex.: fire alarms or other minor
calls). Therefore, please provide clarification regarding the Fire Damage
List. I will relay your clarification to the Fire Prevention Department
once received and send you any responsive documents.
Thank you for your help,
