Firefighters at Fire Station 82 Eltham were approached by several community members this week — each expressing their disappointment in how the Allan Government and Emergency Services Minister Vicki Ward MP are treating firefighters, and their gratitude for the professionalism, dedication, and vital work our members do protecting lives and property.
This is just one of many examples we’re hearing from across the state. Members of the community are speaking up — they’re angry at how firefighters are being treated and believe that those who protect Victorians should be supported, not ignored.
Our UFU members were proud to hear that support firsthand. It’s a powerful reminder that while the Allan Government may choose to ignore firefighters, the community never will.
