An EnergySafety report into the bushfire delivered last month effectively cleared power utility Western Power of blame, after failing to prove that fallen power lines sparked the worst bushfire in the state's history.

However, arson investigator Paul Allardyce said mechanical marks on two sticks found during the bushfires proved the blaze started some distance from the location pinpointed by the EnergySafety report.

Mr Allardyce presented his findings during a closed-door meeting in Toodyay this morning.

The meeting, called by Toodyay residents, also included police, fire investigators and recovery coordinator Charlie Wroth.

Toodyay shire was represented at the meeting by councillor Bob Jackson, but shire president Chris Firns, and the media, were excluded from the proceedings.

Mr Firns told WAtoday.com.au that he had not been invited, and cast doubt on the legal power of Mr Wroth's Toodyay recovery coordination committee.

"The people in charge are self-appointed and as far as I'm concerned have no legitimate authority," Mr Firns said.

"The local government has been completely sidelined in the investigation, in the recovery, and the management since it was (officially) handed from FESA to the local government."

Mr Wroth is currently leading a collection of investigators to the site of the fires where he is expected to make a statement on the new revelations.

The Toodyay bushfire destroyed 38 homes, caused millions of dollars and damage and left three people in hospital when it tore through the small town 85 kilometres north of Perth.
