A Blue Mountains fire brigade captain has told a New South Wales coronial inquest into the Black Summer bushfires that locals were not given "meaningful input" into the Gospers Mountain back-burning operation that eventually destroyed 100 homes.
Elizabeth Raines, a National Parks and Wildlife Service employee and captain of the Mount Wilson and Mount Irvine Rural Fire Service (RFS) Brigade, was tasked with managing the burn along Mount Wilson Road on December 14, 2019.
