Minister Symes keeps saying that 80% of the fleet is ready to respond, but as firefighter on the ground know that is not the reality for regional fire stations.
A 75 year old lady hast lost her house and it is quite clear the outcome could have been different.
Reality is Minister Symes has known for years there are massive problems with the fire service and done nothing.
As the problem increases and risks become unmanageable it is only going to hurt more and more firefighters and our community.
