Working Together for a Stronger, Safer Community
We were pleased to host Western Victoria MPs Bev McArthur and Joe McCracken, along with Moorabool Councillor Jarrod Bingham, at Melton Fire Station yesterday. As an organisation, we are proud to engage with community stakeholders to emphasise the importance of maintaining a modern, safe, and fit-for-purpose Fire Rescue Service. The visit provided an opportunity to […]
On Saturday UFU members from members participated in a PAC (Political action committee) event at a local retail outlet.
Hundreds of flyers were handed out and lots of conversations were had with the community. Action like this has a huge impact politically. It leaves a real, lasting, impression on the community members we speak to. Local stories, by local Firefighters make this campaign real for people. Action like this also sends a very strong […]
This is why firefighters have NO CONFIDENCE in FRV Executive and the Allan Government to keep Victorians safe.
Almost $10million has been spent on lawyers to attack firefighters rights on safety and undermine Victorians safety. This is why firefighters have NO CONFIDENCE in FRV Executive and the Allan Government to keep Victorians safe.
New this Halloween: the Jacinta Allan, Vicki Ward, and Out-of-Date Fire Truck costumes.

Westgate Tunnel Not Safe Unless Proper Testing is Completed
Why is Jacinta Allan putting the lives of Firefighters and the Community at risk? Allan Government slashes, Victoria burns.

Amanda, one of our UFU members sent in this photo of them and their child at a local Kinder fete, where Fire Station 13 Northcote crew had their fire truck on display. This proud Corporate member was keeping the rain off with her UFU hoodie — and happened to come across the local firies while […]
The Premier’s Great Switch-A-Roo – when the heat’s on, Allan’s gone.
Instead of facing Victoria’s firefighters, Premier Jacinta Allan has pulled a Switch-A-Roo — dodging the very people who run into danger every day. There are just 37 days until the dangerously hot summer hits, and while firefighters prepare to face the prospect of real danger — often without the reliable equipment they need — the Premier runs the other way. […]
UFU Members Protest FRV Commissioner’s “Fellowship” Award
Firefighters are protesting outside tonight’s awards night where failed FRV Commissioner Gavin Freeman is being “honoured” with a Fellowship by the IPAA — an award supposedly reserved for those who “embody excellence” and “represent the very best of ethical leadership and service.” Let’s be clear: there is nothing excellent or ethical about failure. Under Freeman’s […]
