A fire truck failed at Fire Station 39 in Port Melbourne yesterday — on a Total Fire Ban day.
Fire Rescue Victoria has no reserve fire trucks left. This was the only truck available.
When firefighters tested it, it failed catastrophically — shooting water metres into the air and left unusable.
FRV is at breaking point. Crews are being left without the resources to keep Victorians safe.
This is not the fire service Victorians deserve.
A Parliamentary Inquiry motion passed yesterday into your fire services after repeatedly the Allan Government repeatedly ignored warnings of how bad Victoria’s fire services are.
