Today, Fire Rescue Victoria’s critical IT system “FireCom” – used to track fire trucks and their status across Victoria – collapsed for six hours.

This isn’t the first time. Two years on from the December 2022 cyber attack that crippled FRV, and $30 million later on IT consultants, the system is still broken.

It’s no surprise 90.85% of FRV staff declared No Confidence in their so-called “leadership”:

❌ Commissioner Gavin Freeman

❌ Deputy Secretary Tony Matthews

❌ Acting Director Tom McPherson

Minister Vicki Ward must act.

Stand them down.

Fix the crisis.

Give Victorians the fire service they deserve.
