Did the Rural Fire Service cover up a fatal fire?

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.

By Janet Fife-Yeomans

September 9, 2008 – 12:00AM

DailyTelegraph

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.

DEATH OF CONSTABLE BALDWIN.

Evidence at the inquest.

The City coroner, Mr. Stephen Murphy, yesterday morning held an inquest concerning the death of William Baldwin, a police-constable,who shot himself at Camperdown on the 6th Inst.

Senior-constable Develin said he found deceased lying on the floor in the back bedroom upstairs face upwards, wearing his uniform. There was a bullet hole in the left breast. Deceased’s wife handed him a revolver, which contained four ball cartridges, and the shell of an empty one. Rose Baldwin, widow of deceased, residing at 5 Derby-street, Camperdown, said that on the 6th inst., her husband was at home. He had been very quint, and between 8 and 9 a.m. witness went downstairs. Deceased was collecting up his police things, as if he were going away. Witness said, “Bill, where are you going,’ and he replied, “I am going to your mother’s.” Witness then said, “Bill, you musn’t go there.” They both went into the kitchen, and her husband put his hand under her chin, when she exclaimed, “Bill, it you want to choke me, choke me,”, and he dropped his hand and did not say anything. She then went to her mother’s place. She returned about noon, and on going upstairs later saw her husband in the back bedroom, sitting on a little, low step, and witness said to her husband, “Bill, are you mad?” Deceased then pointed the revolver at her, and said, “‘It’s cocked, touch that.” She replied, “I don’t want to die.” Her husband thrust the revolver under his coat, and fired it at himself. She had had no quarrel with her husband. Dr. Stratford Sheldon said his examination showed that the bullet had been discharged at close quarters, penetrating the underlying heart. The Coroner returned a verdict that deceased died from the effects of a bullet wound, self-inflicted.

“I Am Fall Of This Life.”

THE police report regarding the suicide of Constable William Baldwin in his home at Camperdown, Sydney, on Friday, has been forwarded to the City Coroner.

Senior-constable Develin, of Newtown, states that earlier in the day Mrs. Baldwin went to her mother’s residence, a short distance away.

She returned about noon and found Baldwin writing at the dining-room table.

Shortly after he took his uniform revolver and put it in his pocket and went up stairs. His wife followed a few minutes later and found him sitting on the doorstep of a back room with the revolver muzzle against his left breast.

” Pull this trigger, ” said Baldwin. ” No ” she replied. Deceased then pulled the trigger , and fell back, dying almost immediately.

Not long after the police arrived and found some papers in his pocket.

One was his will, dated Thursday in which he bequeathed all his property to his wife.

At the bottom, in the space for witnesses’ signatures, was written in, indelible lead pencil ( as was Baldwin’s own signature ), ” No time for witnesses.”

Written on the back of half a constable’s report form was the following note:

I am full of this life, fighting every day ( sick to the neck ). I wish all my comrades good-bye. All I feel sorry for is my three dear children— Myrtle, Rose, Stanley.

God bless the children. A kiss for them all.

Good-bye everybody.—

William Baldwin,”

6th ‘October 1911.

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.

A letter to PANSW Police News:
‘Police Family Alive and Well’

In late April this year a mother, father and brother lost their youngest child and brother.

My Police Officer daughter, Angela Payne (nee Bamford) lost her husband and my family lost a son in law.

Detective Sergeant Gregory Ross Payne, 41 years old, took his own life after a battle with mental illness. His death occurred at Orange, New South Wales. Greg was attached to the Central West PD and was working out of Parkes Police Station.
Following Greg’s death the Police Family came to the aid of my daughter and their two daughters, aged 10 and 8 who live in the small country town of Canowindra.

The PD response and care under the leadership of Superintendent Steve Kentwell and his management team was immediate, genuine and full of support. Nothing was too much trouble in our time of need.

The Police Association reacted immediately with contact, offers of support and within days a sizeable sum of money was deposited directly into my daughter’s bank account. A week later Ian Johnstone, acting for the Police Provident Fund travelled from Sydney to my daughter’s home where he presented her with another very sizeable sum of money to support her through what lay ahead.
Floral tributes from a number of commands were delivered to the home over ensuing days. Just to name a few … Orange and Cowra LAC’s, Parkes Police, Homicide Squad, State Crime Command. Not to mention the flowers, food packages and love and support from the local community and business houses. Greg had been stationed at Canowindra performing general duties when first taking up a country posting. The response from all was amazing to witness.

Greg was laid to rest with full Police honours at a lawn service at Eugowra, NSW on the 11th May, 2021. Approximately
150‑200 people attended. Numerous Police from across the state, along with community and family members turned out. The service was live streamed which was viewed by many Police and friends living overseas.

It was a fitting farewell and I know Greg’s family, as with our family, were extremely grateful to all that attended from far and wide. I can report Canowindra RSL bar‑staff (Greg was known there funnily enough) were kept busy later that afternoon and evening.
Greg’s funeral was conducted under threatening skies on a very cold afternoon at Eugowra. Technical difficulties with the audio production saw attendees standing for an extended period in very cold and light showery conditions. Fortunately, rain held off till after the service and afternoon tea.

I need to highlight the actions of Region Commander Geoff McKechnie who was in attendance. I had not met Geoff previously. He sought me out in the crowd to personally offer his condolences and support for the future. The genuineness in his words and demeanour left me knowing ‘this bloke is fair dinkum’. Former work colleagues of mine had told me both Mr McKechnie and Commander Steve Kentwell were, in our speak, “good blokes”. Maybe a ‘country copper trait’ or another example of ‘looking after our own’.

During the service and unbeknown to me Greg’s daughter, Grace was visibly shaking from the cold. I first became aware when I saw a rather large (sorry Sir) Police tunic being handed forward to Grace which was wrapped around her small upper body. Geoff McKechnie, seated behind had removed his tunic and wrapped it around Grace for the length of the service. Clearly Geoff could have ‘influenced’ another officer to give up his tunic or jacket. What a lovely gesture from obviously a kind and caring man and genuine leader. That memory, amongst others will stick with me forever as a reminder that the ‘Police Family is Alive and Well’ and in this case it came from the top.

I must also acknowledge Police Legacy who contributed by supporting Angela and sponsoring her attendance at a 2 day retreat at Mudgee with others in a similar bereavement situation.

On behalf of the Payne and Bamford families please let me say thank you to all that attended. Your support, prayers and offers of assistance that continue are all very much appreciated.

Greg can rest in peace now with the knowledge his family is in good hands. Please remember to ask ‘R U OK’. You could save a life.

Thank you.

Tragedy as a dedicated cop and mother of two 12-year-old twin girls ends her own life sending shockwaves through police ranks

Much-loved senior female officer Audra Jaeger died at home on October 28
Understood the senior constable was on stress leave from Wollongong posting
50-year-old was a mother of two 12-year-old twin girls and was found at home
Her sudden death is the second suicide by a NSW police officer in two months

By Peter Vincent For Daily Mail Australia

Published: 00:20 AEDT, 10 November 2022 | Updated: 02:53 AEDT, 10 November 2022

A ‘dedicated’ policewoman and mother of twin girls has ended her own life, rocking the New South Police force just two months after another officer also suicided.

Senior Constable Audra Jaeger, 50, who died on October 28, leaves behind 12-year-old twin girls, Harper and Evie.

Daily Mail Australia understands Ms Jaeger, who served in Sydney‘s eastern suburbs and at Wollongong, was on stress leave and died at home.

Ms Jaeger joined the police service at 28 and served for 21 years, working at Bondi and Waverley stations, before moving to Wollongong, south of Sydney.

She also worked at PCYCs in Sutherland and Lake Illawarra and took part in cancer charity work as part of a Cops Against Cancer cycle team.

A former colleague, Dianna Mackay, has started an official fundraiser to raise money for Ms Jaeger’s two daughters.

She shared a heartbreaking photo of the twins in front of a giant love heart drawn in the sand.

‘Senior Constable Audra Jaeger sadly passed away on 28 October 2022. She is survived by her twin daughters, Harper and Evie, who are both just twelve years old,’ Ms Mackay wrote.

‘Audra was an amazing person, friend, work colleague, partner, mumma and daughter.’

Ms Jaeger was ‘much loved by everyone who knew her’ Ms Mackay said.

‘Audra lit up the room no matter where she was; at work, at home or at play.

‘[She] was a massive beacon of light and burst of positive energy and even with her passing, her shining light will never be extinguished.’

One donor wrote ‘Such a beautiful person gone too soon, rest easy Aud.’

Tributes poured in from colleagues and loved ones, many through the charity, NSW Police Legacy.

It shared the tragic news on its social media pages on Wednesday: ‘We’re sorry, family, but we have more heartbreaking news.’

A NSW paramedic who had a chance encounter with her a week before her death said Ms Jaeger was ‘dedicated’ and friendly.

‘[She was a] dedicated Emergency Services colleague, our paths crossed many times for many different reasons and Audra always greeted me with a smile followed by a quick chat, we even had a chat at a restaurant the week before her passing, if only we knew, now it’s another sad loss that may have been prevented,’ he wrote.

‘RIP sister in blue,’ a former sergeant wrote.

‘Audra was always a pleasure to work with at the PCYC,’ a Sydney mum posted.

‘So so sad… a truly lovely person’ another woman wrote.

The tragedy comes less than two months after the body of off-duty male officer, Tanzeel Iftikhar Bashir, 23, was found in the Royal National Park.

Constable Bashir was found in the Royal National Park, south of Sydney, at about 12.40am on Saturday September 3 ( 2022 ).

Police had launched a search for the young off-duty officer at about 10.30pm on September 2 after concerns were raised for his welfare.

His colleagues found the Bankstown Police Area Command officer the following morning.

All funds raised for Audra Jaeger’s twins will be put into a trust for Harper and Evie Jaeger, and will be given to the girls when they turn 21.

The fundraiser has the modest target of $10,000 and had raised $2,655 by Wednesday evening.

A quote I have found in relation to Monty: “At the end of 1998, Sergeant MONTEFIORE, the Intell Sergeant at Cabramatta retired. This man left a huge void, in what was, one of the great Intell Offices in the NSW Police Service, with National and International contacts. It was a show piece of Crime Intelligence. Information required by Police was instantly available as was the names, addresses, photo’s associates etc of every known gang member in the area, particularly the highly dangerous and ruthless 5T. The Intell office was a remarkable area”

Steven VALENTINE

Upon joining the NSW Police Cadets, Steve’s Service Card reads thus:

Junior Trainee # 3085 ( I don’t think this is recorded correctly. He was definitely a Police Cadet – not a Junior Trainee. 3085 is his Cadet number.

He was 186cm tall and weighed 77kg with fair hair and complexion with blue eyes.

He was single.

He was licenced to drive vehicles:

GD’s cars, Utes & Light Trucks – passed 19 December 1975

Heavy Trucks, Heavy Patrol Vans & Omnibuses – passed 25 September 1978. ( This would have been for the Rescue Squad ).

Trailerised Police Vessels ( Boats ) – passed 7 May 1982.

He was part of Secondary Training Class 148A and gained a mark of 355 = 88.75%

He attended lectures on the “Techniques of Aerial Observation” at the Police Rescue Squad ( most probably at Marrickville Rescue HQ ) ON 9th & 30th August 1978. Also attended the Police Disaster and Rescue Branch training course of 1978 / 1979.

He successfully completed the Constable 1st Class course, # 22, from 10 October 1983 – 4 November 1983 inclusive.

On the 16 August 2012, a “combined” ” Send Off ” was held for Steve VALENTINE, Paul HURNEY & Peter NORTON at Wests Leagues Club, Pembroke Rd, Leumeah.
