Western Suburbs Meltdown – Vic ALP Fire Services Neglect!
The failures are piling up across Melbourne’s western suburbs, and Victorians are being left dangerously exposed. ASCOT VALE – Station 50 SUNSHINE – Station 44 (Two separate failures) MELTON – Station 56 These aren’t “isolated incidents.” They’re a crisis. Victorians are paying double the emergency services levy this year — yet FRV faces a $114 […]

VICKI WARD DELETES HER OWN POST AFTER FIREFIGHTERS CALL OUT THE FACTS!
It appears Vicki Ward MP didn’t enjoy firefighters pointing out the truth — her social media post has quietly disappeared after being met with cold, hard facts.

Why is Premier Jacinta Allan risking public safety?
Fire Rescue Victoria radios failed to connect inside the Metro Tunnel. Emails from Telstra say FRV’s setup is missing critical control channels used in the tunnels. Yet the Premier keeps claiming “everything’s safe.” If firefighters can’t communicate underground, they can’t save lives. Melbourne deserves transparency — not spin. #MetroTunne#VicPol
UFU Challenges Premier Allan to Prove Her Claims

FRV IT FAILURE STRIKES AGAIN!
It’s Friday night… and once again, Station Turnout (STO) and vehicle tracking (FireCom) systems have gone down across the state. After more than $30 million spent “fixing” the IT network since the 2022 cyberattack, you’d think we could get through one weekend without a system failure. Firefighters would love a Friday night off too — […]
“Every Second” Counts in an Emergency!
Every second counts in an emergency — but right now, Victorians are being put at risk as outdated fire trucks are forced to sit idle, waiting minutes just to build up air pressure so the brakes will work, just like this one this morning. That might be acceptable for an everyday truck — but not […]
