In just 24 hours, mechanics were called twice to Fire Station 50 in Ascot Vale to fix their 17 year old ageing fire truck.
The latest fault? A failed cooling line on the pump — vital to protect the firefighting pump.
Once a truck hits 15 years old, breakdowns become constant, costly, and dangerous.
And the irony? This same truck was stationed just 2km away from the Labor Party’s State Conference yesterday — “protecting” them.
This crisis isn’t theoretical. It’s real. It affects every Victorian — including every Labor MP.
It’s time for the Allan Labor Government to stop ignoring this fire truck crisis.
