A win for striking firefighters, with confirmation of an inquiry into the national fleet. 

Parliament’s Governance and Administration Select Committee has launched the probe with hopes of increasing the number of fit-for-purpose fire trucks. 

Deputy Chair and National MP Tim Costley told Newstalk ZB he has some serious questions for Fire and Emergency New Zealand. 

He told Mike Hosking that he's been going around in circles with Fire and Emergency’s leadership, who have been giving contradictory and incorrect reports on how many of trucks are in use. 

Costley says either the Board has been receiving incorrect answers from team leadership, they haven’t been asking questions at all, or they’ve received honest answers but haven’t passed them on – regardless of the reason, he has questions.
