Fire Rescue Victoria’s IT network is experiencing a major outage, leaving firefighters without access to vital systems. This includes Turnout information for fire calls, mapping to locate fire trucks at incidents, and other critical systems.
This outage comes after a cyber attack in 2022 that caused significant disruption to FRV’s operations, which they still haven’t fully recovered from. While the cause of the current outage hasn’t been confirmed, it raises concerns about the vulnerability of FRV’s IT infrastructure.
Firefighters rely heavily on these systems to respond to emergencies quickly and effectively. This outage could put the community at risk.
