Great to get the Australian flag flying at the brigade!
Thanks to the Lexton Recreation Reserve for the old footy goal post, and thanks to a couple of guys from "Top of the Tree Services" who gave up their time to help lift up the post, also thanks to the 2 vols who worked it all out!

Our busy bushfire season is sadly far from over. The new seasonal outlook from AFAC News shows increased fire risk during autumn for most of our state.

Victoria has faced a very hot and dry summer season this year already. These conditions are set to continue well into autumn, increasing the potential for fires to start and spread.

However, Victoria continues to be well prepared for any new fires that may start.

Stay up to date with the latest warnings by downloading the VicEmergency app or visiting emergency.vic.gov.au.

Have a fire survival plan ready before a fire starts. Visit the CFA (Country Fire Authority) website for more information.

Lexton CFA Members recently completed the operating breathing apparatus course at Avoca fire station.

We would like to thank the Avoca fire brigade for their great hospitality and for allowing us to use their facilities.

Thanks also to the instructors and to our local volunteers. It is great to see our volunteers improving their firefighting skills and making our community a safer place to be.

We are aware of some discussion in the community regarding the location of the "Place of Last Resort." It is at the Toll Bar park in Lexton.
Please be aware that this "safer place" offers no guarantee of safety during a bushfire emergency, and your safest option is to leave the area. More information may be found on the Shire website.

A 'Neighbourhood Safer Place' also known as a 'Bushfire Place of Last Resort' (NSP-BPLR) is a place of last resort when all other bushfire plans have failed.
