THE failure of the State Government to deliver on a key pledge to upgrade CFA heavy tankers to assist firefighting efforts has been slammed by the Opposition.

The new fleet of 48 tankers to replace ageing single-cab tankers was funded through the Victorian Government’s $126 million CFA Capability Funding package, announced in June 2020.
