YARRA GLEN CFA received a generous community donation from a local restaurant, which will go towards safety lights to protect children.
The brigade received $1000 from the Yarra Valley Grand Hotel raised through a meat raffle, which will go towards flashing safety lights to warn pedestrians of incoming trucks.
Captain Bill Boyd said the lights, worth $2500, will keep kids in the nearby McKenzie Reserve safe when fire trucks are entering and leaving the station.
