6 Peter Leeson Queensland born and bred, gained a Forestry Degree at Canberra in 1979 and worked with Queensland Department of Forestry and subsequent departmental restructures since 1980, and restructured into Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service since Since 1996, developed an increasing District specialisation in fire management. Became Southern Regional Fire Coordinator 2006, and with the State Fire Team from 2008 with a role mainly in inter-agency and inter- State liaison, operational development, and fire training. Commenced fire investigating in 1994, and been an active investigator since, with a particular interest in incident analysis to improve operational practices and firefighter safety. With Fabian Crowe, delivered fire investigation training for Queensland agencies since Currently an agency representative for AFAC Rural Land Management Group, Forest Fire Management Group, SE Queensland Fire and Biodiversity Consortium steering committee, and Queensland fire agencies Interdepartmental Committee Arson and Fire Prevention Group. Bushfire investigation, for either determination of the cause or examination of an event, may sometimes involve fire that has initially burned undetected some time ago (days to weeks), or has burned over multiple days, involved a reburn, or has other similar complexity. In these cases, the date of the fire at a specific location may be unknown and require confirmation, or complex overlapping fire may require a sequential separation. This presentation uses observation records from a large multiple fire study to demonstrate a technique and potential indicators of fire aging in south east Queensland forests, to enable time since recent fire to be estimated, or enable multiple overlapping fires to be identified and separated. Common fire recovery studies look at recovery patterns over 6 to 12 months and subsequent years. This method of fire aging uses very short term fire severity effects and recovery patterns to determine fire age from 1 day to several weeks. The reliability of particular aging indicators and the influence of season and weather is discussed. The method is used frequently in local investigations, some examples of its use will be presented, and has potential for use elsewhere with some calibration for local species and recovery rates.
7 Fabian Crowe Burning Issues Bushfire Training and Consultancy Services Fabian was first introduced to bushfire investigations in 1992 when asked to provide assistance to Les Vearing in investigating a series of deliberately lit fires south of Castlemaine. Between Les, Fabian and the local police they were able to catch the person responsible and mount a successful prosecution. Following a Study Tour in the US and Canada in 1994, Fabian developed a Bushfire Investigations Training Course. This course was delivered by Fabian in each of the States and Territories in Australia and in New Zealand throughout the nineties and in the following decade. The learning outcomes, format and content of this course continue to be the essence of what are now the national training and accreditation standards. In 2009 Fabian led the Fire Investigation Team assisting the Phoenix Task Force with respect to the Kilmore/Kinglake and the Murrindindi/Marysville fires on Black Saturday. Fabian s evidence was cited eighteen times in the Royal Commission s Report relating to the Kilmore/Kinglake event and was subject to some rigorous examination by Counsel in the subsequent civil litigation which followed both fires. Since retirement in 2013, Fabian has continued to assist both at the Victorian training courses which are conducted in Castlemaine each year and on the job at bushfire sites when required. He has also been engaged by several different legal firms from South Australia, New South Wales and Victoria to provide expert evidence in Supreme Court matters involving significant bushfire events in those States including the fires on St Patrick sday this year fires in Western Victoria.
8 Rick Miller In 34 years as a volunteer in the New South Wales Rural Fire Service, I have held the positions of Acting Group Captain, Senior Deputy Captain, and Deputy Captain and have attended hundreds of fires in the role of Divisional Commander, Sector Leader, Incident Controller, Crew Leader and Fire fighter. Major fires include emergency declarations in the Blue Mountains in 1994, 1997 and 2001 and the Canberra Fires of I am an Authorised Fire Investigator with the NSW Rural Fire Service and am currently attached to the Central Coast Rural Fire District. Since my training and appointment by the RFS in 2005/6, I have undertaken over 634 fire investigations as the Primary Investigator; 540 of them into wildfires, 94 into fires involving structures and given evidence as an Expert Witness in both the NSW District and Local Courts. In 2015 I was awarded the Commissioner s Commendation for Service by the NSW RFS. Lessons from the Investigation into the Catherine Hill Bay Fire of 2013 and into other fires caused by the activities of a serial fire lighter. The Catherine Hill Bay fire (CHB) occurred on 17/10/2013 but was in fact a re-ignition of an earlier fire that had been lit by a serial fire lighter at his workplace nearby, 17 days earlier. As a result of the time gap and the site of the reignition, the investigation was complex and will be illustrative to many fire investigators. During the fire a resident died from a heart attack while defending his property. In all the fire destroyed three properties in the heritage listed mining town of Catherine Hill Bay, a nearby service station and restaurant, and also damaged several other properties including an historic jetty. At the height of the fire 63 appliances, 2 x aircraft and approximately 200 personnel from FRNSW, NPWS and NSWRFS were deployed. Prior to the fire and over a 12month period my investigative partner, Stuart Farleigh, and I attributed 25 fire incidents to the serial fire lighter. He subsequently admitted to lighting 17 of these. Initially he pleaded not guilty to lighting the fire at his workplace and the later re-ignition that produced the Catherine Hill Bay Fire. The situation was complicated by an incorrect media report that he had admitted guilt. As a result a jury trial was aborted. After a period of further Discovery he admitted to lighting the fire at his workplace but disputed that the Catherine Hill Bay Fire was the result of a reignition. Over 12months later, a hearing of disputed facts was held by a Judge in the District Court and he was found guilty and sentenced to 8 years in gaol on top of the two years given for lighting the fires that he had already admitted to. He was one of the few fire lighters who I have helped identify, who was also a member of a firefighting service, in this case the NSW Rural Fire Service. The process of identifying him taught me several lessons and will also be instructive to many investigators.
9 Ian Burgwin CONFERENCE BIOGRAPHIES General Manager, Electrical Safety and Technical Regulation Ian is now accountable for the regulation of electrical infrastructure, installations and equipment safety across Victoria. He has been with ESV for just over 3½ years. Before then he has worked in various roles in electrical transmission infrastructure, high voltage direct current, submarine cable engineering, consulting and business leadership positions in Australia, New Zealand, Zambia and the UK. He also consulted to industry for four years. During his four years in New Zealand he was a member of the National Engineering Lifelines Committee responsible for the development of infrastructure resilience, particularly during major disasters such as earthquakes. Synopsis The Victorian Bushfire Royal Commission of 2009 made a number of recommendations to be carried forward by the electricity distribution businesses and overseen by ESV in an effort to reduce the probability of electricity assets starting bushfires. This presentation will show how the recommendations became practical programmes of work and discuss their progress to date; these programmes are not scheduled to finish until The presentation will explain the deployment of the Rapid Earth Fault Current Limiter (REFCL) and how it is expected to break the strong correlation between bushfire start (due to electricity assets) and the weather. This is leading edge work where this technology has never been deployed in an effort to address bushfire starts anywhere in the World.
10 Russell Lee Russell Lee commenced his working career in 1957 as a cadet engineer in the Victorian Railways, qualifying as an electrical and mechanical railway signalling engineer in He left the railways in 1964 and worked for some years in large industrial and contracting companies doing electrical services and switchboard design, manufacturing design, contract engineering and project engineering work. In 1971, he joined the leading Australian and international consulting engineering firm of Rankine and Hill as a senior electrical project engineer, and was subsequently chief electrical engineer. He was elected an equity partner in In 1985 he left Rankine and Hill to start his own practice as a forensic consulting engineer. He investigated and reported on the origin and cause of electrical and mechanical failures and accidents, on fires and explosions, and on electric shock and electrocution. His practice extended throughout Australia and New Zealand, Europe, South-east Asia and the Pacific. He retired in He is a Fellow of the Institution of Engineers, Australia, and a member of its Electrical and Mechanical colleges, and a Life member of VAFI. He holds a Diploma of Electrical Engineering from Swinburne College of Technology, a Graduate Certificate of Engineering, a Graduate Certificate in Fire Investigation from Charles Sturt University and a Masters Degree in Technology, with Mechanical and Electrical majors, from Deakin University. Russell has addressed many seminars and conferences both in Australia and overseas, where his experiences in determining the origin and cause of failures, fires, and accidents have been of great interest to fire investigators, risk and maintenance engineers, tradespeople, electrical and mechanical engineers and the general public.
11 Ken Legat Since 2012, Ken Legat has been the Investigator Principle of Fire Investigation Services Limited, Christchurch, NZ. Ken had a 35-year career in the New Zealand Police. He worked on the Christchurch Arson Squad and was the Fire Investigation Co-ordinator for Canterbury CIB, becoming a national Police resource to consultant on investigations and fire investigation training. Ken retired to join IAG to undertake fire origin and cause investigations, subsequently he established his own company specialising in fire investigation. Ken trained with the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms in Georgia, USA, and the Melbourne Fire and Emergency Service, Fire Investigation and Analysis Unit. He is one of only two CFI qualified fire investigators in New Zealand and has an Advanced Diploma of Public Safety (Fire Investigation) from the Canberra Institute of Technology.A consuming portion of his work during 2017/18 is the Christchurch Port Hills fires. Considered by many the first Australian Style wild fires in the South Island of New Zealand. Synopsis of Presentation: The people of Christchurch view the Southern Alps to the west and the Port Hills to the east as iconic play grounds. On the 13th of February 2017 two fires started and joine on the Port Hills. A helicopter pilot was killed fighting the fire, numerous properties were destroyed and hundreds were evacuated. Fire Investigation Services were engaged to be involved. There was clearly a need to engage with the population and ask for assistance of those with potential information, photos and videos, we actively monitored and guided aspects of social media discussion. Facebook, YouTube and Neighbourly became key tools. These avenues would turn up some of the most significant witnesses, photos and videos. A relationship with a very well-known radio personality and using his widely followed Facebook page, while also actively searching for and joining discussions, helped to quickly collect information. During the first weeks of the investigation, Fire Investigation Services company Facebook and website visits went from a handful to thousands of visits a week. People felt ownership of the situation. They wanted to assist with the investigation. The collection of information and visual evidence would have been far more labour intensive and we would have missed out on the little gems of information that became so important to the investigation without social media. The fire was officially declared extinguished on 20th April 2017.
