The head of the Department of Environment and Conservation has defended a senior officer who played a decision-making role in a fatal Goldfields bushfire and a blaze burning near Margaret River.
Bradbury Commins was a logistics officer for the Borrabbin fire in 2007 in which three truck drivers died on the Great Eastern Highway.
The WA Coroner Alistair Hope labelled Mr Commins incompetent, finding he failed to consider all available weather information.
But Mr Commins was reinstated by DEC last year, after being cleared in a subsequent review.
The department has confirmed Mr Commins is now the Blackwood district manager and was involved in approving the prescribed burn which led to the Margaret River fire.
The fire destroyed about 40 properties and is now contained, but not under control.
The department’s director general Keiran McNamara is giving Mr Commins his full support.
“I have full confidence in Mr Commins as a competent, professional officer,” he said.
“And I will just reiterate that this burn was approved properly through the department’s systems by the district manager, by his regional manager and by two senior officers of the fire management branch of the department.”
Mr McNamara says he stands by his decision to reappoint Mr Commins and supports all staff who take on the difficult and dangerous job of fighting bushfires and conducting prescribed burns.
