The Labor Government has failed to respond to requests from firefighters to replace outdated equipment. This is putting the community and firefighters at serious risk.
Fire Rescue Victoria Policy is that vehicles are to be replaced at a maximum of 15 years.
There are over 70 firetrucks which are so old they should be off the road including one truck which is over 36 years old. This is putting lives at serious risk.
