We were promised a new fire station six years ago. The Liberal National Government has failed to deliver - for the community and for the firefighters being overstretched.

It’s one of the fastest growing suburbs in Sydney, but Oran Park has been waiting six years for a fire station.

Crews who are forced to travel from neighbouring suburbs say they are overstretched. Elizabeth Bryan

Yesterday during Question Time the Premier was asked where Oran Park's fire station is - 6 years after it was promised. She couldn't answer the question but if you were listening closely you'd have heard the Minister for Emergency Services' response...

Former firefighter and fellow unionist Steve Buscemi sent FBEU members a message to celebrate our 110th year. He also had this message for the NSW Liberal Government. Thanks for the solidarity, Steve ✊

Barry O’Farrell went for a bottle of Grange. This is much, much worse. Gladys is gone for all money. smh.com.au/national/nsw/i…

You couldn’t make this up. On 7NEWS Sydney tonight: the NSW RFS aircraft (remember the air tanker and the old Blackhawks?) can’t carry firefighters this fire season. Is the silver lining that we don’t have as many firefighters around to carry? 🛫💺❓🛬🚁

Hey ABC The Drum I’m a firefighter of 20 years & it’s plain as day there’s been a cut to our budget-it’s in Gladys Berejiklian’s own budget papers. We’ve got fewer firefighters now than we did in 2011 and less money than we need to fight fires. Happy to chat any time about our jobs & budget

At the same time Fire and Rescue NSW is over 400 firefighters short and suffering budget cuts from @DavidElliottMP and the State Government.

As Laura Tingle notes the artificial staffing cap imposed by the Coalition is impeding the delivery of NDIS services- just as it has meant that our other services are under-staffed. A good government would ensure fair tax and IR systems to ensure our services are delivered

I didn’t think anyone could achieve a perfect re-enactment of Monty Python’s Judean People’s Front skit but well done to the NSW Greens for pulling it off

Arrived NSW Legislative Assembly to see Guy Zangari KHS 2nd read a firefighter cancer Bill he introduced almost 12 months ago and Victor Dominello & Hon. Troy Grant are saying they’ve consulted me about a Bill I’ve never seen. Surreal. Glad they want to look after us-so let’s talk. I’m free guys

Just spoke to ABC Sydney about firefighter cancer & the journalist had more detail on what the Coalition is planning to do than the firefighters who it will cover. Legislation written in 4 days??? I was asked what I wanted to say to Hon. Troy Grant: Pick up the phone. Mate.

Hey Hon. Troy Grant must have missed a call from you this morning explaining what you’re planning to do for firefighter cancer today? I’m at Parliament today so no big deal, I do some of my best work out front on Macquarie St

According to the Liberal Government quoted on @7news tonight Fire and Rescue NSW has no budget cuts and has ‘money to burn’. Hon. Troy Grant would you like to to confirm that FRNSW has no Labour Expense Cap or efficiency dividend? Are we frontline yet?
