Overnight, Fire Station 88 Hallam’s Hazmat truck was taken off the road following a suspected engine failure.
Victoria has just 5 Hazmat trucks to respond to chemical spills, toxic gases and potential terrorism threats. Yet 4 of those trucks are already past their service life, with the fifth not far behind.
After years in government, Labor has failed to plan for the replacement of this critical fleet.
This is what happens when governments neglect essential emergency services and fail to invest in the equipment needed to protect the community.
Victorians deserve better. Firefighters deserve better.
This election, it’s time to hold the Carroll Labor Government accountable. PUT LABOR LAST.
