This is what a fire service in crisis looks like.
67% of FRV’s fire truck fleet is past its service life, and now we’re seeing trucks breaking down and being towed away.
Victorians are paying TWICE as much emergency services tax, yet Premier Ben Carroll and Minister Paul Edbrooke want firefighters and communities to wait another 9 years to get the safe equipment they needed a decade ago.
They could act now. Instead, they’re turning firefighter safety and community safety into an election promise.
They created this crisis. Now they want your vote to fix it, but it’s too little, too late
