Sometimes you have to go to the Fire Crisis, and sometimes the Fire Crisis comes to you.
Today, a Fire Truck—already out of date and used to transport vital emergency equipment—broke down right outside our Union office. The cause? A transmission failure, spilling fluid all over Brunswick Street in Fitzroy during peak hour traffic—right on a busy tram route.
Meanwhile, $35 million of your fire service levy was spent on external consultants for Fire Rescue Victoria last year. Yet, firefighters are still being sent out with aging, unreliable equipment.
Firefighters have no confidence in their fire trucks and no confidence in Commissioner Freeman to fix this Fire Crisis.
