The Australian Firefighters Calendar seems to have a very similar approach.
It was established in 1993 to support the Children’s Hospital Foundation, providing funds for research into childhood burns. In 31 years, the calendar has raised over $3.45 million for various charities!
In 2024, they featured 6 different editions: dog, cat, horse, mixed animal, classic, and heroes.
The Australia Firefighters Calendar reaches over 90 countries and has found a large fanbase in North America.
“One of my goals was before the age of 30 I wanted to be in the Australian Firefighters Calendar. When I was younger in my fire and medic career, it began as a joke because I felt like I could never be physically capable or fit enough to be one of those men you see in the calendar,” recalled Jacob Hacker, a firefighter with Willard Fire and Rescue in Ohio and one of the American features in the 2024 calendar.
“After ten years of hard work and dedication, I reached out to the Australian Firefighters Calendar, and to my surprise, they were impressed by my journey and wanted me to partake in their calendar. This was a dream come true and one of the greatest honors of my life to be an American featured in an Australian Firefighters Calendar for a good cause,” he added.
