Surely working trucks shouldn’t be something we should have to campaign for. Just #FixOurFireService!

An ageing fleet of fire trucks is a problem compounded by cuts to maintenance funding, with unions calling on the NSW Government and new fire commissioner to fix it | @TallulahT_ @NSWRFS

The FBEU has lost two remarkable members this week. Vale Comrades. You will not be forgotten.

@YaThinkN 💯 agreed.

[Fire Brigade Employees' Union @fbeu]

@KleesJackie @YaThinkN We’re so sorry for your loss. Such a brutal illness.

[Fire Brigade Employees' Union @fbeu]

@YaThinkN @KleesJackie Thank you for sharing our campaign! 🙏

It's Asbestos Awareness Week.

Asbestos is banned in new builds, but firefighters are still exposed when the old ones catch fire.

We're urging the NSW Govt to amend presumptive legislation to #CoverOurFiries for all work-related cancers.

Some things get better with age.

Others, not so much.

Fire trucks have a life span for a reason.

#FixOurFireService

(FRNSW have trucks in service almost as old as that👇 32-year-old Pearl Jam album. And they feel as old as that 👇190-year-old tortoise who is called Jonathan).

This is groundbreaking.. Particularly for America’s Bravest

Firefighting has been proven to be a cancer-causing profession. Yet firies aren't covered for all the illnesses our job can cause.

Support firies by visiting https://t.co/rT7jIsAQN3 and tell your local MP that firies deserve all the protection we can give them.

#CoverOurFiries

[Fire Brigade Employees' Union @fbeu]

@yabbietol @NSWRFS @CFA Hi Terry, the legislation covers all firies.

[Fire Brigade Employees' Union @fbeu]

Cancer protection for firefighters shouldn't stop at the border.

Support Professional Firefighters by visiting https://t.co/rT7jIsAQN3 and telling your local MP to expand coverage for those who cover us.

It's time to #CoverOurFiries

@BenMcGowan95 He’s a great man @BenMcGowan95. Liked and respected by all who have worked with him.

@NZPFU Honestly it's like looking in a mirror.
