The Fair Work Commission is hearing a dispute between the Metropolitan Fire Brigade and the United Firefighters Union in Victoria. The latter had during the 2013-14 summer argued that its members were not properly prepared to attend to cardiac arrest calls during a record heatwave. The MBF had wanted to roster an additional 30 staff, as 300 such emergencies were forecast. Firefighters accompany Ambulance Victoria paramedics to all incidents where patients have stopped breathing
