For the second year in a row, Mathieu Le Gall was in charge of the shooting. “A great experience and great encounters, with the firefighters and these personalities,” rejoices the photographer.

With his camera, he immortalized the singer Miossec; Mireille Cann, guardian of rue Saint-Malo; the journalist Steven Le Roy; handball player Pauline Coatanéa; the captain of Stade Brestois 29, Brendan Chardonnet; Irène Frachon, pulmonologist; Claude Ferrec, geneticist at Brest University Hospital; Jacky Bouilliol, member of the Goristes; Christophe Goret, alias Kris, comic book scriptwriter; Katell Alençon, Paralympic cyclist; Guillaume Pape, starred restaurateur; Prigent Colin, very involved in the disabled sports association; and Paul Bloas, painter.

“The firefighters contacted the personalities, I also suggested some, like Mireille Cann. Rue Saint-Malo is the first place where I was able to exhibit,” says Mathieu Le Gall. Whose photos were taken during the summer of 2024.

A favorite photo? “Maybe the one with Miossec. He makes a standoff with a firefighter. I wanted to try, I like the result, even though we had originally planned a photo with a music group. I learned that Miossec’s father was a firefighter, he was happy to pose for the calendar. »

24,000 copies

The firefighters’ tour started on November 2. It will end at the end of December. As a reminder, the price of the calendar is free. 24,000 copies were printed by the Cerid printing company in Lambézellec.

“This money is intended to help us live better at the barracksto improve our daily lives. We also use it to organize events, like our Sainte-Barbe,” explains Florent Le Roux, adjutant at the Brest fire and rescue center.
