fire trucks fails at grampians fire

Victoria’s Fire Rescue Fleet continues to let down our hardworking firefighters and the communities they strive to protect.

Multiple trucks broke down during strike team operations in Halls Gap, including:

  • A Taylor’s Lakes truck stranded on the way back
  • A Bundoora truck requiring a tow truck for assistance

Photos show 5 fire crews stuck on the freeway as their outdated and unreliable trucks waited for help.

Firefighters are ready to put their lives on the line for us, but they’re being let down by a fleet that’s no longer fit for purpose.

Premier Jacinta Allan and the Labor Government are literally playing with fire, leaving our communities vulnerable this High Risk Weather Season.

Victorians deserve better. Firefighters deserve better.
