I had no idea they still did this. A great fundraising idea but not my cup of tea.

I wouldn’t buy this calendar – I make a personalised one each year, and I’d rather spend the full month looking at photos of people I know and like. But that said, these men do look hot, it’s good photography, and definitely a good cause. So I hope many people enjoy them!

It’s a wonderful thing they do each year to raise money for different charities. This isn’t something I’d buy for myself but if I had the spare cash I’d buy a few for family and friends. I would like to see more “normal” firefighters fitted in here as well. I’ve yet to see a fireman who looks like this when they are fighting fires but good on them

  I agree with your comment; it would indeed be very good to see a good mix and range of people in a calendar. It would be good to see people in a calendar that are relatable for everyone. It would also be good to see people behind the scenes in a calendar; the ones that take calls etc.

I am not a fan of this calendar but do like charity calendars and good on them for raising funds. We always buy the Guide Dogs calendar and we love to support the Guide Dogs. The Guide Dog calendar is full of beautiful guide dogs that do such a wonderful job in supporting people.

Such a pity that I can’t recognise any of these young men when they are fully dressed and attending a fire whether in the bush or the city. I would gladly do whatever they requested while they fought the fire raging near me if I had remembered them from their calendar of good works. Sorry but the ‘double standards’ have never applied to me – I am as happy to see beautiful young women on a calendar or beautiful young men. In fact I don’t even mind the aging variety of both species.

I need a bucket of water quick

oh dear I’m going to be the party pooper and suggest that we need to be careful of what we say about these types of calendars. If that was a calendar of scantily clad females some of us would be up in arms st how we are objectifying women. In my youth I would have drooled over this, it’s only as a mother of both males and female can I see how it could be considered double standards. I wonder what the reaction would be if the all female calendar was sitting in a mostly male lunchroom. I guess it’s all a bit of fun and for a good cause but I am on the fence a little.

Man, there’s definitely some hunks in there! It’s so steamy I think they’ll be putting out a few extra fires! I love that they have teamed up with organisations promoting the rescue and conservation of animals. This is a cause close to my heart and it also makes for some really adorable pictures!

These Fireman do a amazing work thank you guys and not too bad to look at either hahaha

I like it that the annual calendars have donated more than $3.5 million to charities in Australia and worldwide since it’s launch in 1993 and that the 2025 calendars will help support charity projects and organisations including Byron Bay Wildlife Hospital, the Rural Fire Service, Kids With Cancer Foundation, Native Animal Rescue and Healing Hooves Horse Therapy.

  It surprises my that they are apparantly well known even world wide. Probably the charity aspect is what I like most of these calendars. I can’t say that I really like these pictures of men showing of the bodies and muscles so much that I would hang them on my wall

Haha wow would love to show my husband a copy

What lovely charities the funds to towards! We get a new calendar every year, I’d love to see my husbands reaction if this was for 2025 in our house haha. I love the addition of the animals. I’m guessing the animals and pets were from the receiving organisations, what a great way to bring everyone together for a good cause.

These calendars are quite popular around some of my friends and have been buying them for many years. This is a great idea to help raise money to build awareness. I have not purchased one before as a hard copy calendar is not something I use but i know a lot of people out there still do use one.
