Fire Station 44 — Sunshine has once again been left without its vital Teleboom fire truck. The appliance is more than a decade old and has spent most of the past 15 months out of action. Yesterday, it failed yet again and had to be towed away.
This is not bad luck — it’s failed leadership.
63% of FRV’s fire trucks are outdated and no longer fit for purpose
The government’s “replacement fund” is a drop in the ocean
And at the top? A Commissioner who has lost the trust of his workforce
90.85% of firefighters voted No Confidence in Commissioner Gavin Freeman.
Why? Because under his leadership:
Fire Trucks are breaking down across the state
Stations are being left short or offline
🧑🧑🧒🧒 And firefighters and communities are being put at risk
FRV Commissioner Gavin Freeman has failed.
The Fire Crisis is real, and it’s only getting worse.
