Since its debut in 1993, the Australian Firefighters Calendar has already raised over $3.45 million for various charities.

The success of the calendar has reached over 90 countries and now it is back for the 32nd year with five different editions: Dog, Cat, Horse, Mixed Animal, and Hero. Hard to pick only one when they are all equally hot, but I guess it's better you take a look by yourself and tell us your thoughts!

The new edition of the calendar will continue its huge support: from children fighting cancer to wildlife rescues, especially focusing on the Byron Bay Wildlife Hospital, which plays a truly vital role in rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing injured and orphaned animals back into their native habitat.

It will be ensured that the hospital will have all the necessary resources to provide expert medical care and a safe shelter for Australian native animals.

This beautiful partnership will not only make a meaningful impact on the Australian ecosystem but also will spread greater awareness about the wildlife’s conservation and importance of protecting its natural habitat.

It's been five years since the Black Summer Bushfires, which shocked people all around the world when they devastated Australia, leaving 3 billion (!) native animals perished.

"After the devastating bushfires of 2019/20, wildlife vets decided to fund raise to produce the world’s first mobile hospital. Affectionately known as Matilda, she can be transported to the scene of a natural disaster such as a bushfire, flood, mass stranding or oil spill affecting wildlife on a large scale," explained David Rogers, the Director of the Australian Firefighters Calendar, in an interview with Bored Panda.

"Members of the public & licensed wildlife carers can bring injured, sick & orphaned animals in their care to Byron Bay Wildlife Hospital for treatment. Securing the future for Australian wildlife through expert veterinary care, recovery, education and community engagement," David noted.

"To conserve, protect and ensure positive welfare outcomes for Australian wildlife through treatment, rehabilitation, research and education. Everything we do is underpinned by important principles of ethics and animal welfare," he added.

Asked about which is his favorite calendar, David named the Hero one, since it required lots of photos to get it exactly right.

“Sometimes it can take an hour to make sure it is perfect,” he shared with us.

According to David, working surrounded by the always unpredictable fire is always very challenging, yet the most difficult part in making this new set of calendars for 2025, to most people’s surprise, turned out to be cuddly-looking koalas!

“The most dangerous part of the photoshoot is the claws on the koalas! That are really sharp and the koalas are extremely strong,” he explained.

The 2025 calendar editions include over 25 firefighters from urban fire, military, and aviation services. Each month is represented by heartwarming photos of the country’s bravest shirtless heroes with many different, yet equally adorable animals such as dogs, kittens, koalas or horses.

“These sexy firefighters will spice up your day,” was written on the calendar’s Instagram, next to a shared video showcasing the fittest men posing half-naked for the camera.

“When our firefighters meet the cuddly locals!” was written under the next one, with a behind-the-scenes moment when firefighters had to hold koalas.

"I’ve never held a koala in my life so that was pretty cool," shared Greek-Canadian Steve Giannopoulos. "The experience was awesome and I’m very happy with the end results now that the calendars are out," he added and noted that for him, the calendar also marked his first trip to Australia.

“I hit two birds with one stone, getting to visit Australia and be part of the biggest firefighter calendar in the world,” he shared the excitement. “I got to meet some great people working behind the scenes and some awesome firefighters.”

The firefighter has roots from Sparta yet grew up in Canada and always had a dream of becoming a firefighter.

“I once wanted to be a firetruck, not a firefighter; that’s the running joke in the family. I then grew up and realised they are not superheroes but real humans and that it’s a real job,” he explained. “It attracted me even more and once I got into the fire academy I fell in love and never looked back.”
