DEMAND THE GOVERNMENT stop the budget cuts to our fire services

Send this letter to our MPs

Dear Member of Parliament,

I write to express my concern at the Allan Government's changes to the Fire Service Levy and the proposed $600M cash Grab.

Homeowner rates will rise from $191 to $254 per year and Commercial rates will rise from $749 to $1240.

Yet, the Allan Government will change the law to remove minimum funding for fire services out of the levy.

Victorian voters, homeowners, business and landholders should not be expected to pay for the Allan Government’s financial mismanagement.

The Allan Government must adhere to the recommendations of the Black Saturday Report and maintain the Fire Services Levy as a dedicated mechanism that guarantees minimum funding for fire protection for the people of this state.

We need your help.

Please stand up on behalf of your community and urge the Allan Government to drop this great big new tax and commit to fully funding our Fire Services.

Thank you for submitting this letter.

Equipment Failures

Another day, another misadventure while training recruits at Fire Rescues Victoria’s sole training academy. If trucks aren’t missing, they’re empty of equipment, or explosively breaking down as seen here.

Taylors Lake

Update on the infamous Taylors Lakes Truck, that is 24 years old. It is overheating on a regular basis and has been reported at least weekly.
