Sunshine Fire Station 44 was left scrambling last night after their fire truck broke down and there were NO SPARE TRUCKS AVAILABLE ACROSS VICTORIA. This means station 44 was operating at reduced capacity overnight, leaving the western suburbs with missing fire protection.
Their replacement crew arrived this morning, but they’re still stuck at the station with no Pumper Truck This is simply UNNACEPTABLE!
FRV and Commissioner Freeman NEED to acknowledge the FIRE CRISIS we’re facing with our aging and unreliable fire truck fleet.
Minister Jaclyn Symes and Commissioner Gavin Freeman, YOUR ACTIONS OR RATHER INACTION, REFUSAL TO ACKNOWLEDGE REALITY TO LEAD AND RESOLVE THE MESS IS HAVING a REAL impact on EVERYONE.
THIS IS A MAJOR SOCIETAL RISK EVIDENCED BY EVENTS THAT RESULT IN TRAGIC IMPACT TO THE LIVES of fire fighters AND everyone IN OUR COMMUNITY! you must act NOW!
