Labor is committing over $50 million to beef up the fire-fighting force of NSW by 600 personnel over the next three years in its latest promise ahead of state elections in March.
Opposition leader Chris Minns said while the state's population has increased by one million over the past decade, the headcount of firefighters has been reduced by 76 personnel.
In comparison, senior executives at Fire and Rescue NSW have doubled from 13 to 26 and administration staff have increased by over 20 per cent.
