The Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) Commissioner is set to reveal new aerial platform appliances designed to enhance fire safety across New South Wales. This event will take place at the FRNSW Alexandria Training Facility, where the media can witness these innovative vehicles in action.

Bolstering Emergency Response

The introduction of the aerial platforms marks a significant improvement in FRNSW's ability to address fire challenges, particularly in urban settings. With the addition of these state-of-the-art vehicles, fire crews will be better equipped to respond effectively to incidents requiring elevated access and reach. The training at the Alexandria facility offers media personnel the chance to capture footage of fire crews operating three of the four new appliances.
