The ABC reports the ACT fire brigade has gotten $1.5 million of new aerial equipment (also not sure who wrote the web version of their story but it needs a darn good subedit).
This seems to be mainly a 44-metre high hydraulic platform, which Chief firefighter David Prince said means they can now reach the top of 15-storey buildings. Simon Corbell, who still hasn’t returned our interview, was on the news last night saying this equipment was necessary to be able to protect all those new apartment buildings springing up around Civic.
