Sir Edmund Hillary, honourary firefighter

Posted by Aaron Schmidt (Auckland, New Zealand) on 7 December 2005 in People & Portraits.

To kick off the firefighter world record climb, the great Edmund Hillary made a nice speech wishing the firefighters all his best. He's getting old now, but he's still a Kiwi legend, being the first mountaineer to successfully ascend Mount Everest. The firefighters gave him a beautiful helmet and fire jacket in honour of his achievement back in 1953.
