Obviously the answer in Spanish copied above was part of the explanation for the answer I wanted to offer in English, which is
"Subpoena Duces Tecum", a subpoena to come to court bringing documents required by the court.
(Please excuse the confusion, which is the result of a completely sleepless night at the keyboard)

SUBPOENA DUCES TECUM - A command to a witness to produce documents.
A writ or process of the same kind as the subpoena ad testificandum, including a clause requiring the witness to bring with him and produce to the court, books, papers, etc., in his hands, tending to elucidate the matter in issue.

agree  Chris Williams: I think it's a court order too as a subpoena is an act which can be enforced by the authorities while a court order requires a further step to be taken before force can be used.

Subpoena (in this case)


Explanation:
For USA (I Don't know if that term is used in Europe)
What is a subpoena?
A subpoena is a court document that requires a person to give evidence at a court
proceeding. The subpoena tells a person that they must come to court at a certain
date and time to give evidence to the court. They may be required to give evidence
by either coming to court to answer questions, or bringing or providing the court
with documents, or both.

That sounds like an investigative report to me, don't you agree? That's why it needs a subpoena

A Fire Investigators' Report on a Fire call may only be received by subpoena. In the subpoena, make sure that you list the date of the fire, as well as the address in which in the fire occurred...
If you need to request a copy of a fire report, please send a letter stating that
