Victorian firefighters allege unprofessional conduct of volunteer SES crews is putting the safety of emergency responders and the public at risk. The Victorian SES denies the claims, saying their volunteers are 'fully trained' and do an 'outstanding job'.

Nine News

There is no suggestion that any alleged mistakes or misconduct by emergency workers on the scene contributed in any way to the deaths. But firefighters have claimed that responders’ safety was potentially endangered when the SES triggered the airbag by cutting into the vehicle while personnel were still inside. Glass and debris fell on Ms Clark after SES failed to deploy a shield to protect her, they say.

“No VICSES photos of the Pakenham victim were captured or exist. No apology was issued or required and VICSES strongly refutes any claims otherwise,” a spokesman said. FRV declined to comment. The union is also seeking to involve Emergency Management Victoria as the state’s umbrella organisation that authorised the current road crash rescue arrangements.
