The Australian Firefighters Calendar 2022 Is Out With More Shirtless Heroes And Adorable Animals (28 Pics)
Australian firefighters are doing God's work. And not only on but off duty as well. Continuing their tradition, the gang is releasing a charity calendar for 2022 to help animals in need.
In its 29th year, the Australian Firefighters Calendar has produced 6 editions: as always, everyone's favorite cats, dogs, horses, classic and mixed animal (featuring the country's wildlife) issues will be on offer. But to heat things up and for the first time ever, there is a Summer Edition calendar with firefighters enjoying the beaches and having fun in the sun. The inaugural version cover has been taken out by Australia's fittest firefighter Matt Haydon.
With such a long history of supporting important causes in the land down under, these heroes thought it was time to begin to take their efforts internationally. So the Australian Firefighters Calendar is teaming up with a well-known US-based organization, Greater Good Charities, and the sales of this year's calendar will support Greater Good Charities' Rescue Rebuild program, which helps to renovate animal shelters, domestic violence shelters, and homeless shelters to give a hand to mistreated pets and the people who care for them.

"The Greater Good Charities are so excited to be partnering with the Australian Firefighters Calendar, we have been a huge supporter of their work through our social media channels for years now," Lesley Cave, the Director of Partnerships at Greater Good Charities, told Bored Panda in a statement. "This will be the start of a long-lasting partnership on charity projects across the US."
For the first time in its 29-year history, the calendar will be printed outside Australia for the US market. The calendars will be printed in Dallas, Texas, and distributed for US, Canadian, South American, and Asian supporters.
"The US has been such a huge supporter of the Australian Firefighters Calendar over many years now. We are so happy to be in a position to begin donating to US-based charities now and into the future. To be partnering with an organization as well respected as Greater Good Charities is the opportunity we have been waiting for. It was really important to us that the product was printed in the US by an American company, employing American workers. For the Australian Firefighters, it's really exciting to be involved," David Rogers, the Director at the Australian Firefighters Calendar, added.
The idea to take the iconic calendar to the US is the direct result of goodwill between the two countries. "[Australians will never forget] the overwhelming support from the American people ... when we suffered through the worst bushfires in recent memory," the folks behind the project said. "The money that was raised by our US fans went to support native Australian animals that were severely injured. One of the incredible local-based charities supported by the calendar donation was the Byron Bay Wildlife Hospital."
From humble beginnings 2 years ago, a handful of passionate veterinary surgeons and nurses came together to establish the hospital, and through the determination of the local community in Byron Bay, they were able to raise enough money to build Australia's first mobile wildlife hospital!
"The support the Byron Bay Wildlife Hospital received from the US was phenomenal and it continues to this day. The funds have enabled us to start building another mobile hospital to support our wildlife in the event of further wildfires," Stephen Van Mil, the CEO at The Byron Bay Wildlife Hospital, said.
The amazing thing is that the Byron Bay Wildlife Hospital is just one of the many native animal welfare establishments that the calendar will support again this year.

I would like it better if there was more variety in shape and age. (But I guess its just the male version of a pin up calendar where all the woman are also young and hot.)

No gender diversity. No racial diversity. No body size diversity. Why is this not being condemned? Personally, I don't care, but the clear hypocrisy is disgusting.

It’s ok to ogle these men? Why? What differentiates this from the calendars you USED to find with women in a similar state of undress, if it’s not ok for me to be in a calendar in my bra and pants why is it acceptable for men to be?

No doubt there will be another thread on here calling all men pervs and creeps in a day or two. But this is ok isn't it 😤.

BP can you please post a version for those interested in females? Perhaps a nice calendar full of photos of the best looking women from various countries with their shirts off and holding power tools? No - too sexist? Ok then let's not post this!

Somehow I doubt these boys are firefighters. We have a similar male pin-up calendar in my country supposedly showing farmers and their animals. Sorry, but they are professional models and way to vain to risk their looks being ruined with the "dirty" work. Not saying that there aren't any good looking firemen and farmers. Au contraire ! They look like real men, rough and ready, "fresh from the fight" - not like supermodels, who just walked out of the beauty saloon. Just the way I see it.

WHY ARE THEY ALL MUSCULAR MEN POSING WITH IMAGINARY ANIMALS THAT LATER GOT PHOTOSHOPPED IN, AND THEY DIDNT EVEN DO A GOOD JOB.

Ma per favore, un po' di ironia! Le foto mettono allegria e la bellezza non ha genere né razza né specie... il calendario è una festa per gli occhi. Gente, rilassatevi e divertitevi.

As an Aussie I find it funny that this is their way to do the Calendar...in RL they wear the navy blue Bonds tshirts or tanks and in those they look way cooler and that is just enough with the puppies and ducks and so on, the shirtless is not necessary at all.

Yummy!! I do not mind salivating over these glorious young beautiful men. At my age, that's all I can do and I am happy to be able to appreciate their masculine beauty. Let's applaud the fact that as firemen they need to be in top physical shape for their work, which is incredibly difficult and which most of us could never do. They are also very brave, putting themselves in very difficult life threatening situations, again something most of us never have to do. If some of these gorgeous men choose to pose for the camera, good for them! They are also blessed with fine good looks and seem to have great senses of healthy humour about the yearly calendar they put out. I think what they are doing in every way is terrific and to be applauded and supported wholeheartedly. These men are wonderful.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

It kind of weirds me out that the female firefighter calendar in SA was so much more..sexualised than this one. It wasn't fit women holding cute animals, it was legs spread, being sprayed with the firehose. Another was out of uniform, tied up suspended in a firehose. Rather creepy by comparison.

My biggest problem is that red shoulder strap that keeps appearing in almost every photo. Let gravity do its job, please.

I'd recommend this to our local fire department but I don't think I could ever look at them the same way..

My question is this...how are every male firefighters happen to be fit and also handsome? These aren't all real ff at all and to say they are, that's wrong. Not all firefighters are handsome or for females, look cute and sexy. So typical for our society to do something like this

All the jealous guys in the comments are funny. I doubt many of them comment on images where women are objectified. Also, as a bi woman, I wouldn't be opposed to seeing hot female firefighters posing in similar ways. As long as it's for a good cause, you know.

There is a lack of ethnic diversity but the lack of body diversity is to be expected. To be a fire-fighter you have to be extremely fit, more so than a police officer. Another thing to take note of is that this fire-fighters maybe shirtless, but in no way are their positions, poses suggestive or sexual.

You all are forgetting the REASON for this calendar. Who gives a darn about the damn context. Man, woman, who's holding what animal. Let's think about the proceeds and for whom they will be helping. It's not the 50's anymore folks.
