THE Rural Fire Service is being investigated by a coroner over claims it covered up suspicions that a fatal bushfire was started by one of its own volunteers.

THE Rural Fire Service is being investigated by a coroner over claims it covered up suspicions that a fatal bushfire was started by one of its own volunteers.
Motorist Ronald Gillett died and 13 homes at Abernethy in the Hunter Valley were destroyed in one of the state’s worst bushfires which a previous inquest found was deliberately lit.
Yesterday as he reopened the inquest on the basis of fresh evidence, deputy state coroner Carl Milovanovich said he would be investigating whether there had been a “conspiracy of silence”.
He said the primary focus of the new inquest was whether there had been a “cover up” over the cause of the blaze in October 2002.
One of the fresh witnesses to be called is Brendan Hokin, a member of the local Cessnock Bushfire Brigade who had been charged two days before the fire with deliberately lighting a fire that threatened Pokolbin.
He then went to fight the fire.
Hokin, then 24, pleaded guilty to arson and was jailed for 12 months with a non-parole period of four months.
He has denied any involvement in the Abernerthy blaze, which was the result of two separate fires.
But Mr Milovanovich was not told about Hokin when he held the first inquest in 2004.
After that inquest, RFS investigator Ken Hepplewhite told ICAC that he had told someone he “thought there may have been a cover-up (about the fatal fire) but that he was not part of it.”
Bushfire volunteers who were on the two Cessnock fire trucks on a training exercise when the fire started have also been interviewed by police – some for the first time – and will also be called to give evidence.
Police had taken statements from 34 new witnesses, Sergeant Julie Tillott, assisting the coroner, told Westmead Coroners’ Court.
She said the inquest had been reopened following allegations made by a local resident, Garry Price, who almost lost his home in the fire, and a reinvestigation by police.
Businessman Mr Gillett, 55, was trapped in his car and killed when the flames swept across the road through Aberdare State Forest after he was turned back at a roadblock.
Outside court yesterday, his son Barclay Gillett said he he hoped the new inquest would “get to the bottom of what happened”.
Mr Price flagged that he would be asking for Mr Hepplewhite to be called as a witness.
The inquest was adjourned to October 13 in Newcastle.

As per Alan’s wishes, a private family service & cremation was held at the Coffs Harbour Crematorium, Karangi, NSW.
Hi All
please see below from Alan Millward’s wife –
Hello everyone, this is Al’s wife, Jan.
Due to very last minute unforeseen circumstances, Monday’s Memorial Service will no longer be held at the racecourse.
In lieu of this our family will be down at Diggers Beach, from 2pm Monday afternoon.
It’s a pretty special spot for us as that’s where Alan and I renewed our wedding vows for our 20th wedding anniversary…which was an unbelievable 18 years ago now. My God, time goes by so fast!
You’re all welcome to join us. Bring along a chair and a choccy milk or lemon squash, or whatever your choice of poison is…I’ll have my cup of tea! If you want something to nibble on, you’ll have to bring that as well I’m sorry to say, as I really don’t think letting me in the kitchen is a good thing right now…I’d probably get distracted and burn the place down. We’ll sit around and share a few stories and celebrate Al’s life and love.
To all those who have contributed to the Go Fund Me thingy that Charlene created for Alan’s Memorial, we will contact you personally over the next few days. We do not want anyone to feel we have misled you and will return your donations if that is what you would like.
To each and every person here, thank you from the bottom of hearts, we are so grateful for the outpouring of love and support you have all offered. We will all miss Alan in our own ways.

Condolences to Harrison & Connor, together with family, friends and staff from Campbelltown Police Station.
Carolyn was exposed to, and participated in, police investigations into paedophiles, while she was the mother of young children.
This really affected her.
Part of her duties were to visit goals to listen in to phone calls made by inmates.
Prior to Carolyn’s death we tried so desperately to help her.
She was so fearful of being sectioned and admitted to the mental health unit.
More so than most people would be because she was involved in arrests where the offender was in such a unit and terrified of being placed in a unit alongside some of the people she was involved with in her work.
She should never have been exposed to some of the images of crime victims when she was not a serving police officer even though she worked very successfully alongside them.
