27 - HUNTER FIRE STATION CLOSURES

Hornery, Sonia to the Minister for Corrections, Minister for Emergency Services, and Minister for Veterans Affairs

What is the Government doing to ensure that in the future Hunter fire stations will not close due to a lack of staff during total fire bans?
Answer -

Fire and Rescue NSW has advised me:

During days of Total Fire Ban, Fire and Rescue NSW ensures that all fire trucks staffed by permanent firefighters are available to respond to incidents. Fire trucks staffed by retained crews are on call and off-duty firefighters can be recalled to crew reserve fire trucks.
