Today, the 22 year out of date spare ladder platform truck has been taken off the road after its aerial capability failed to work. This trucks purpose is to fight fires, or perform rescues, from above! With this truck grounded, FRV are out of spares, leaving firefighters unable to respond to emergencies.
There is NO plans to replace these out if date Ladder trucks across Victoria. There is no funding to purchase these urgently needed trucks.
To add insult to injury, today in parliment Labor are attempting to make changes to the Fire Service Levy, making Victorians pay more whilst fire services face budget cuts.
