Firefighters at Fire Station 78 Morwell were left high and dry at a haystack fire yesterday.
Responding with a specialist boom appliance to reach deep-seated fire, crews were let down when the out-of-date truck overheated in soaring temperatures and had to be shut down.
This is yet another clear example of the Jacinta Allan Government ignoring repeated warnings from firefighters that aging fire trucks and equipment urgently need replacing.
Victorians are paying more than ever — but firefighters are being left behind with failing, outdated equipment.
Sign the petition for a parliamentary inquiry into Victorian fire services.
Victorians deserve a fire service that can protect them.
