They found the money for their 79% pay rises. But FENZ's priorities end where the hard work begins. #NZPol

🚒 AUCKLAND HAS ZERO FRONTLINE RESCUE BASKETS. Both heavy platform aerials are broken down. Auckland’s only backup is a 31-year-old ladder truck that was out of service for two years. Need high-rise rescue? We'll have to wait for Hamilton. Is this what your levy pays for?

FENZ opens applications for new dispatchers in the same week official data reveals 82% of ComCen staff face burnout risk. Instead of fixing toxic conditions and severe stress, FENZ "leadership" treats 111 call takers like replaceable parts. #NZPol

Newtown's ladder truck, dubbed Christine after a Stephen King car that takes on an evil personality, broke down and couldn't get to a WOW worker who had died.

ANOTHER DEATH. ANOTHER FRONT PAGE. 📰🔥 Placards aren't ruining FENZ's reputation. Failing trucks, broken leadership, and an ignored mental health crisis are doing that on their own. #NZPol

Wellington is still down its primary life-saving ladder truck. The entire lower North Island is left relying on "Christine"—and Avalon’s baby ladder truck with a faulty monitor. Is this what "prepared to serve" looks like? 🚒⚠️

Classic FENZ deflection: blaming station signs for lost public confidence during Mental Health Week. Megan Stiffler & Janine Hearn complained about placards & paint. The irony? They sponsor the Whanaungatanga wellbeing programme—yet own the culture driving the crisis. 👇

Janine Hearn’s shocking hypocrisy: panicking over truck paint while ignoring a 4-year overdue safety hazard. Firefighters have been forced to crew this truck without a safety sign-off since 2022, yet Ms Hearn is more concerned about the product used on the paintwork. #NZpol

The priorities at the top are completely rotten. Time for real accountability.
