Question
I refer to the Department of Fire and Emergency Services Annual Report 2017-18, and specifically to Appendix 3 'Infrastructure and Vehicles, and I ask:
(a) can the Minister provide a list of the brigades, groups or units who have received a 'replacement response vehicle approval' in line with the table on page 211 of the annual report;
(b) have all of these 'replacement response vehicles' been delivered; and
(c) if no to (b), can the Minister please provide a list of the brigades, groups or units who have not received a 'replacement response vehicle', the type of vehicles and the intended date of delivery?
Answered on 19 February 2019
- Yes. (See tabled paper no )
- No. However, there have been 3 delivered, a further 18 programmed with a delivery date and the remainder pending concept (4) or acquisition (72) phase of Operational Fleet Project.
- Yes. Consultation is underway on operational vehicles as a part of DFES’ Operational Fleet Delivery modal. Consultation is continuing with volunteers and key stakeholders on vehicle specifications and trials of first-type appliances to meet the needs of Brigades, Groups and Units. The Advisory Groups will agree delivery prioritisation once this process is finalised.
