GEELONG CITY TRUCKS HELD TOGETHER BY TAPE

Geelong City Fire Station is facing significant fleet maintenance issues heading into what is expected to be an elevated fire season.

Local fire fighters are having to repair their rescue car faulty window with yellow tape to prevent the windows going down during a call out.

Local Fire fighters have more faith in the yellow tape than trying to find a suitable replacement or wait on repairs at FRV HQ.

Their Pumper Truck has a leak on the first aid tank, presenting a risk to crew and the community during call outs. The high-pressure reel has been broken from some time.

Fire Rescue Victoria has a serious fleet issue and requires immediate and urgent attention from Commissioner Freeman and Minister Symes.

Heading into what is expected to be an elevated fire season, Geelong City fire fighters are concerned at the reliability of these appliances to serve the community.
