BlazeAid saves Lucindale farmers more than $100,000

By Raquel Mustillo
BUSHFIRE recovery organisation BlazeAid has saved Avenue Range and Lucindale property owners more than $100,000 by helping to rebuild fences destroyed by the Blackford fire in January. 


Since opening the Lucindale camp in late January, more than 97 volunteers have devoted a collective 602 days to clearing 54km of fences and rebuilding approximately 75km of fence across fire-ravaged properties.


A total of 32 properties have registered for help in the area and three farms have had work completed, with farmers estimating a savings of $108,360. 

But for former Lucindale resident and BlazeAid volunteer Maggie Paltridge, giving the gift of a fence to keep in livestock has been life-changing.
