Dear FENZ,

I wish to withdraw this OIA Request as I now realise that you have already provided the costs for this fire in a previous request dated 29 Jan 2020. I have got myself a little confused in the naming of the fire which I had originally understood it to be the "Deep Creek Fire" and now know it to be the "Old Dunstan Road Fire". They are of course the same fire.

My apologies for my mistake.

Yours sincerely,

Alan Thompson
