WA: Fire boss defends actions in WA bushfire

Firefighters "at war with mother nature" during a bushfire, which killed two people and razed 128 homes, do not deserve commentary from "armchair critics", Western Australia's DFES Commissioner Wayne Gregson says. The lightning-sparked blaze in the state's South West killed two men and wiped out most of Yarloop, where the homes were lost. But the Department of Fire and Emergency Services has been criticised for a lack of communication about the severity of the threat. Aaron reports.
