Summary
A three-year-old boy died in a devastating house fire, while his father suffered severe burns trying to save him. Emergency crews arrived too late — the first fire truck took ten minutes, despite being just a mile away. The Tarneit station, which only has one truck, was already busy with another call. Firefighters say a second truck, long requested, could have made all the difference. Response times are critical — after seven minutes and 42 seconds, flashover makes rescues nearly impossible. This station missed the target time 36% of the time last summer and handled more calls than any other in its group. The crew is heartbroken, convinced they could have saved Jordan if they’d had the resources. The cause remains under investigation.
