Victorian fire trucks set for upgrades

MORE Victorian fire trucks are being upgraded to protect crews from unexpected burnovers.

Seventy-four CFA upgraded trucks will be ready for this fire season, with equipment such as fire protective curtains and panels, water-spraying systems and an improved intercom service.

Another 130 tankers will be refitted by June 2014, the government said on Tuesday. The vehicles will still be used this summer.

It will bring the number of upgraded CFA tankers to 1048.

"While we hope fire crews across Victoria are never trapped in their tanker during a burnover, we want to ensure volunteers on the front line are better equipped to safely take shelter in CFA trucks," Emergency Services Minister Kim Wells said.

The program only applies to trucks built before 2006 as later models already have crew protection systems installed.
