Double celebration for Callum – A wedding in the Fire Brigade Family!

Its been an eventful month for firefighter Callum Tannant. Recently promoted to the rank of Qualified Firefighter, Callum married his bride Melisa at the Martinborough Fire Station on the 24th November.

Callum has a long association with the local volunteer brigade through his uncle, Life Honourary Member Richard Tannant. Callum joined the Brigade in November of 2012, exactly five years ago.

Callum has been a resident of Martinborough for 38 years and in his own words is “as local as they come!” He attended Martinborough School then completed his secondary education at Kuranui College.

He was first employed by Pallister Estate and worked there for 3 years “as a jack of all trades.” For the past 15 years he has been employed by Oldfields and now Higgins Contractors. His truck driving skills are an invaluable asset to the local brigade.

In his spare time Callum is an enthusiastic member of the Martinborough Amatuer Theatre (Madcaps).
