Hazmat specialists respond to some of the most dangerous emergencies in our state, gas leaks, chemical fires, hazardous material spills and even potential terrorism incidents.
But right now, breakdowns and ageing fire trucks are causing delays to specialist Hazmat responses across western Victoria.
When these trucks are off the road, communities are left waiting longer for the highly trained firefighters and specialist equipment needed to manage dangerous incidents safely.
Victorians are paying more than ever through the Fire Services Levy, yet firefighters are being forced to rely on ageing and unreliable appliances.
The question is simple: how much longer will the Allan Labor Government allow Victoria’s fire service to fall behind before something goes seriously wrong? #frv#vickiwardmp @julianaaddison
