Today with the over half of the state under a Total Fire Ban, Victoria’s power supply will be left at risk because a fire truck dedicated to its protection has broken down.
An Aerial Pumper was stationed in Morwell after the devastating Hazelwood Mine Fire in 2014 with the express purpose of increasing fire protection to power stations of Loy Yang, Yallourn, and the now closed Hazelwood.
Now, this truck didn’t just break down today, last night, or the day before.. it broke down OVER A WEEK AGO. Our trucks are falling to bits, our mechanics are under the pump, and this Government just doesn’t care.
FRV and the Allan Labor Government have repeatedly gambled with community and firefighter safety, now they’re rolling the dice with Victoria’s energy security.
