Good news for firefighters in ACT Budget

June 3, 2019 by ufuadmin Leave a Comment

Canberra’s firefighting capacity is set to expand in next week’s ACT Budget according to this report in The Canberra Times of 31 May 2019.

The budget is set to provide funds for the “preliminary design and preparations for two new shared fire and ambulance stations, one in the Molonglo Valley and another in the city”, recruiting 36 new firefighters, and “$2.2 million on a new elevated aerial appliance currently under order to replace the existing unit”.

The UFU ACT welcomes the commitments, with Secretary Greg McConville noting the government announcement was “an acknowledgement of Canberra’s growth rate of 8000 new residents a year, and the need for the city’s emergency response capability to grow accordingly.”
