Fire Station 87 Dandenong has been without a fire truck for TWO WEEKS.
Why? Victoria’s ageing, broken-down fleet has become so stretched that there are no spare trucks left to replace it.
Spare fire trucks are meant to keep fire stations operational when trucks break down or need servicing. For the last two weeks, Victoria has had none left to fill the gap.
Victorians are paying DOUBLE the Emergency Services Tax, yet getting fewer operational fire trucks, an ageing fleet and a service increasingly stretched to breaking point.
Victorians are paying more and getting less. Their safety is being put last by the Carroll Labor Government.
On 28 November, firefighters are asking Victorians to send a clear message at the ballot box.
PUT LABOR LAST.
