UFU Secretary Peter Marshall has delivered a clear message to the Victorian Government and FRV — firefighters will not be silenced when it comes to community safety.
The deteriorating state of frontline fire trucks is a disgrace, and firefighters will not be intimidated into staying quiet about the risks facing both crews and the communities they protect.
This is not politics — this is about public safety,
“Our union is strong. Our members are strong. We will not be silenced and we will not be intimidated.”
Firefighters across Victoria continue to raise serious concerns about ageing, unreliable appliances and the growing impact this is having on emergency response capability and community protection.
