STRIKE THREE FOR FRV I.T!

Imagine your workplace was on fire…
And instead of a fire alarm going off, someone had to call each person—one by one—to let them know.

That’s exactly what’s happening right now at Fire Rescue Victoria.

Firefighters are being phoned individually to respond to emergencies because the alerting system has completely failed—three times in just four days.

No printed maps.
No critical incident information.
Just a phone call and hope.

This failure has already caused delayed response times, putting lives, property, and communities at risk.

And still—no answers from FRV—who are refusing to inform firefighters about what is happening and why the constant failures.

The UFU acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land, and we pay our respect to their Elders, past and present.

The UFU supports the call of First Nations peoples for a Voice to Parliament to be enshrined in the Constitution.
