The CFA’s Chief Fire Officer handed in his resignation on Thursday.

Tom Elliott spoke with Joe Buffone who says he’s ‘absolutely gutted’.

‘I submitted my resignation because I got to the position where it was untenable for me to continue in my role.’

‘This is not about money, Tom.’ – says Joe.

‘This is about being able to discharge my legislative role and be able to look after everybody.’

Tom asked Joe if he had a message for Daniel Andrews or James Merlino.

‘I don’t want to comment on that right now… I’m focussed on doing the right thing.’ – He said on 3AW Drive. 

Tom Elliott spoke with Deputy Premier, James Merlino later on the program.

Merlino says he is ‘disappointed’ in Joe’s resignation.
