FRV’s metropolitan Melbourne fleet availability is deemed critical when more than 29 trucks are unavailable for firefighters to use. This week that number reached 42 trucks off the road, unable to be responded to emergencies.
So far in 2026, FRV has had a minimum of 31 trucks unavailable in any given week. What used to be a rare and critical situation, has become the norm. Firefighters are being asked to use unsafe trucks, and if they refuse they are left unable to help their community.
The Allan Labor Government is taxing you more, but giving you less fire trucks avaliable to help you and your family in an emergency. #Firecrisis#victoria#melbourne#firetruck
