Following yet another breakdown of Aerial Appliance and with its dedicated Pumper at a job, the Community of Shepparton and surrounds are down to a Hazmat Response Truck to protect life and property.
Local workshop mechanics are working overtime to keep the community of Shepparton and local Firefighters protected, local firefighters express their thanks for keeping their efforts.
This is yet another example of Firefighters and the community being placed in danger due to a Fire Rescue fleet that is becoming increasingly out of date and not fit for purpose.
Only last week Shepparton was told a promised new Pumper Platform was no longer coming, instead it has been diverted to the Western Suburbs of Melbourne, due to a lack of planning and funding across the Fleet by FRV and the State Government.
