Greater Dandenong dangerously exposed

GREATER DANDENONG LEFT EXPOSED

A critical Heavy Rescue truck has broken down — leaving Greater Dandenong without essential rescue capability until at least mid next week. This truck is 4 years past its use-by date, and there are no working replacements — the spares are even older and unfit for service.

FRV does have new rescues on order, but they’re still months away — a clear sign of poor planning, mismanagement, and a leadership team that’s asleep at the wheel.

90.85% of firefighters have no confidence in Commissioner Gavin Freeman’s leadership.
And even more have no confidence in the ageing trucks they’re forced to rely on to protect Victorians.

We are calling on Minister Vicki Ward to act now and call for Commissioner Freeman’s resignation before this fire crisis ends in tragedy.
