The annual celebration which features fireworks over Lake Daylesford attracted thousands of people and was monitored closely by the CFA.
Daylesford CFA captain Alistair Grant said the funds would be used to purchase additional tools not provided by the CFA.
“It just helps us to make our job a lot easier particularly at jobs such are car accidents,” Mr Grant said.
Now in its third year, the fundraiser has provided more than $15,000 to the Daylesford CFA as well as the Glenlyon group, which consists of eight brigades around the region.
Lake House owner Alla Wolf-Tasker said the fundraising was a joint community effort.
“The CFA is one of those last lingering strengths of community working together and it's such a big part of being in the country.”
