Firefighters from Fire Station 41 St Albans were left stranded when their 15-year-old Pumper Tanker broke down while battling a grassfire in Keilor North. This is the second fast-moving grassfire in the area in a week!
With summer just beginning, outdated equipment puts our firefighters and community at risk.
Fire Rescue Victoria has warned this week “It’s important to stay vigilant, as grassfires can occur not only in regional areas but also in built-up residential areas.” But how can we trust the system when our fire trucks keep breaking down during these emergencies?
We call on the Allan Government and Minister Symes to act now and invest in modern firefighting vehicles to address this Fire Crisis.
