Ian Pickard has served in Fire and Emergency New Zealand (formerly NZ Fire Service) for over 50 years. Here is his 50 Year gold medal presentation and farewell speeches, as Ian embarks on retirement in the coming months.
In the current COVID environment, this presentation was mainly virtual. With only a small number of people able to attend at Wellington National Headquarters. There were over 500 people logged in to watch this presentation, which, with the amazing words by the speakers, is a testament to Ian and his career.
