Ladder Platform fire truck at Footscray Fire Station 47 became stuck up in the air and now off the road!

Melbourne’s western suburbs left without a truck capable of high rise rescue and firefighting hampering critical emergency response.

This is the broken state of Victoria’s fire services — underfunded, under-resourced, and now, thanks the Allan Governments new Emergency Services Tax, Victorians are being told to pay more but will get less in return.

That’s why tomorrow, people will be rallying — calling on Premier Allan to scrap the tax that’s set to double and even triple what Victorians pay, without delivering the funding our fire services so urgently need.
