This year, the fire brigade association of Bouaye (Loire-Atlantique) prepared a 2025 calendarall fire, all flame, playing the originality card.

130 years of cinema

After highlighting the town's athletes for the 2024 calendar, in connection with the Olympic Games, this time they decided to celebrate, in their own way, 130 years of cinema.

Results: each month has its revisited firefighter-style film poster!

Cult films

“We asked Boris Chauvetamateur photographer from Bouaye, to take the photos, specifies Marianne Raimond, president of the association. His wife worked on the graphics to remain faithful to the original posters. Residents of municipalities linked to the relief centers will be able to appreciate the result when the calendars are distributed. »

Can you guess the titles of the different films illustrated in this calendar? The Lord of the Pipes, Titanic, Forrest Pump… So many parodic titles which pay homage “to films appreciated by the public, by putting the Bouaye firefighters in place of the actors. »

Everyone will be able to try to find the names of the original films and make the locals smile. We had a lot of fun taking the photos and finding new names for often cult films. »

Former firefighters also in the spotlight

If the firefighters played the game, their glorious elders, the retirees also took the opportunity to, aboard the HY, a former fire brigade vehicle, put on their old leathers and their caps and parody a famous film from the years 70. “It’s a tradition to highlight those who preceded us,” explains Nicolas Coudray, member of the association.

A first ball that calls for others

The year 2024 was rich for the Bouaye firefighters. “If the year 2023 was that of the centenary of the Fire and Rescue Center, with the publication of the book, Bouaye firefighters, a century of dedication, 1923-2023, written by Colonel Schmauch, 2024 will have been marked by the first ball of the Bouaye firefighters, specify the members of the association.

This popular event was a great success, thanks to the help of everyone, particularly local actors whom we thank for their commitment to us. We are now looking forward to meeting residents on Friday July 11 for the second edition of the firefighters' ball! “
