Corio is meant to have two fire trucks protecting the community. Today, one is missing — because Victoria doesn’t have enough fire trucks.
67% of Fire Rescue Victoria’s fleet is already past its service life.
Victorians are now paying twice as much Emergency Services Tax, yet communities like Corio have half the fire trucks available.
And this is happening just months after the Viva Energy refinery fire.
Emergency Services Minister Paul Edbrooke likes to say he’s a former firefighter.
He should know better.
Victorians deserve a fire service that is properly funded, properly equipped and ready when they need it. But under Labor, that is not happening.
How is this a good deal for you and your family?
