Fire Station 47 Footscray just got their fire truck back—only for it to fail again two days later. With no spare trucks available, firefighters are being left without the equipment they need to protect the community.
FRV’s fleet is under immense strain, and mechanics are struggling to keep failing trucks on the road. Firefighters have lost confidence in their equipment—and in FRV Commissioner Freeman to fix this crisis.
Meanwhile, FRV wasted over $30 million on external consultants last year—money that could have bought 30 new fire trucks.
Victorians deserve the fire service they pay for. This crisis needs to be fixed now!
