Firefighters at Cranbourne Fire Station 92 were responding to a garbage truck fire when their fire truck lit up with red warning dashboard lights, followed by a horrid noise, smell and violent vibrations.
It forced firefighters to pull over and bail out.
This fire truck is past its service life and had to be towed away. And there wasn’t a spare truck anywhere in Victoria to replace it.
67% of FRV fire trucks are now past their service life.
Premier Ben Carroll and Minister Paul Edbrooke can call themselves a “new” Government.
But under their watch, Victorians are still getting the same broken fire trucks, the same failures and the same disregard for Firefighters we saw under Jacinta Allan.
“New” Government. Same crisis. Same failures
