DEMAND THE GOVERNMENT SPEND YOUR FIRE LEVY ON A NEW FIRE STATION

Send this letter to our MPs

Dear Minister Symes,

I pay a significant fire levy to the State Government (via my Council rates) that was meant to fund a fully staffed FRV in Clyde North. This hasn’t happened, and the dire consequence of that inaction played out recently.

On 3 March 2024, a small fence fire on Spartan Avenue Clyde North was reported to Cranbourne Fire Station. This resulted in a delayed response.

By the time firefighters from Clyde and Cranbourne responded the fire had destroyed 8 garages, a townhouse and several cars.

The proposed FRV Clyde North fire station is just 400 metres away from the fire site. If this had been built, the quicker response time would have prevented most of this loss.

My fire levy was earmarked to build this new fire station on the corner of Matterhorn Drive and Thompson Rd last year.

If this had happened, the fire’s severity would have been greatly minimised.

As the Emergency Services Minister, we're asking you and Premier Jacinta Allan to explain what’s happened to the $7M allocated to build the Clyde North fire station!?

Our neighbourhood is feeling understandably vulnerable not having the fire service we require for adequate community safety.

Thank you.

Equipment Failures

Academy Explosion

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.
