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
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).
He’s not lying #FixOurFireService

Millions of dollars have been spent by FRNSW on consultants, marketing and branding at the expense of community protection and the things we need to get the job done safely.

NSW Fire Commissioner Paul Baxter has made a sudden, shock departure from the top job. The commissioner had come under heavy criticism over a range of issues. https://t.co/48X6Dviott #7NEWS
The corruption watchdog pushed Fire and Rescue NSW to investigate allegations sacked commissioner Paul Baxter breached state government procurement rules by engaging his “personal friend” in consultancy work worth nearly $500,000 @fbeu #FixOurFireService https://t.co/I68lbwE7n1
‘Baxter had faced sustained criticism from... the Fire Brigade Employees’ Union, which accused him of an expensive organisational rebranding exercise in the face of the number of frontline firefighters falling and rising fire-related casualties’

Our fleet team performs magic on a daily basis to keep our old appliances running.
But even their expertise is stretched to the limit to coax life out of appliances that should be in a museum, not in working fire stations.

There are many risks in our job that no one can control (e.g. asbestos, chemical exposure, toxic smoke) - but DPM exposure is one that we can.

$50 million announced for women's change rooms, and this is the "change room" for women at Wagga. Unless that's designer shelving, we can't see where that funding is going, can you?

Spare a thought for firies all over NSW who have to work in stations that aren't fit for purpose.

Mudgee, NSW: Dunny door note sparks firefighter fury https://t.co/YKsPVvIe1c via @newscomauHQ

Batemans Bay was without rescue coverage for 12 hours after this pumper failure on Monday night, while they waited for the 24-year-old SEV (replacement vehicle) to show up and be re-stowed.
And the SEV can't carry all their gear.

.@StevePriceMedia nails it with this observation: "There has to be a debate about the age of the equipment that our fire services have. If that had been in a building occupied by people, I wonder if they would be able to contain it as well as they have."

Firefighters can't keep being asked to do more with less. @FRNSW needs to urgently address their staffing shortfalls, which are affecting communities right across NSW.

The MIA aerial appliances across the state are symptomatic of the chronic under-funding of
@frnsw over the last decade.

Fire trucks have a use-by date - but many of @FRNSW’s appliances are operating well beyond that.
It’s unsafe for firies, and puts communities at risk.
It’s time to #FixOurFireService. Our communities are depending on it.
@SharriMarkson
Communities are exposed to very real risks when appliances are not replaced at the end of their life span.
@frnsw management should have planned for this, but didn't, and now we have appliances not meeting community needs, or MIA as is the case in @cityofcoffs

Internal government documents demonstrate the dire state of emergency services in New South Wales, with firefighters warning a New Zealand-style hostel fire is "an accident waiting to happen" in the state. https://t.co/lD5slpN2U0
