Door hinge fail – truck now off the road

West Melbourne firefighters have been left stranded after a door hinge on their fire truck tore away from the body — rendering the fire truck unroadworthy and unable to respond to emergencies.

This isn’t a one-off. It’s becoming a daily occurrence across Victoria.

Firefighters are being forced to rely on ageing, failing trucks while the Allan Government continues to ignore the growing crisis.

Victorians deserve a fire service that’s properly funded, properly equipped, and ready to respond when it matters most.
