Firefighters welcome the commitment to deliver 50 new fire trucks and ensure no Fire Rescue Victoria fire truck operates beyond its 15-year service life.
But firefighters and Victorian communities need action — not promises for 2035.
FRV’s ageing fleet is already in crisis, with too many firefighters relying on trucks that should have been replaced years ago.
Nine years is too long to wait.
The Government must deliver a fully funded, transparent and accelerated fleet replacement program — starting now.
The time to support Victorian firefighters is now.
Not in nine years’ time.
Supporting Victorian firefighters means protecting Victorian communities.
