Victoria’s Fire Rescue Fleet continues to buckle under the strain of neglect by Minister Symes.
Overnight a Rehabilitation Unit stationed at FRV headquarters was taken Out of Commission.
A district car that was sent to replace it was deemed unroadworthy due to a broken tail light.
The only replacement available across the Fleet is a Multicultural Liaison Officer’s Car.
Firefighters are being forced to put critical, lifesaving resources, into a car that is not fit for purpose.
This is a manual handling hazard, being forced on Emergency Service Workers, whilst the Minister and the Allan Government have finished sitting in Parliament for the year, off on a long Christmas Break.
Victoria is experiencing a Fire Truck Crisis. As we head into the High Risk Weather Season, Firefighters and the Community are asking, where is the Fleet we deserve and pay for via the Fire Service Levy?
