Calendar On Fire: The 2024 Australian Firefighters Calendar Is Back With More Cute Animals

The Australian Firefighters Calendar is back for its 31st year, and this time it's all about firefighters striking poses with adorable animals!

The calendar, known for its sizzling photos and charitable donations, has released its 2024 edition with six themes: classic, dog, cat, horse, mixed animal, and a new addition—the 'Hero' Calendar. These heartwarming photos are capturing the attention and love of people worldwide.

Founded in 1993, the calendar has become a global sensation, hanging on walls in over 90 countries.

The Australian Firefighters Calendar has not only heated up walls worldwide but has also warmed hearts by raising an impressive 3.4 million dollars for various charities in Australia.

The dedicated project team supports causes like animal refuges, Australian wildlife, rural firefighters, and children battling cancer.

This year, over 25 firefighters from aviation, military, and urban fire services participated in a month-long photoshoot for the calendar's six editions, featuring these heroes alongside an array of adorable animals.

The project's director, David Rogers, shared insights about the calendar's incredible global success. “It’s so popular now that we print the calendar in the Netherlands, the United States, Taiwan, and Australia. It is still amazing to me that every year more and more people from around the world want a copy of their favorite calendar,” he told us via email.

“The firefighters were asked to appear on the Kelly Clarkson Show in the US last year. Next week, they are in Taiwan for a promotional trip for our distributor there. One minute the firefighters are on a firetruck; the next minute, they are in a TV studio,” Rogers explained, explaining just how phenomenal a hit the entire project has been. “They have become part of something very special.”

To understand the preparation required for firefighters and those aspiring to join the profession, we reached out to the Australian Firefighters Calendar's director.

According to him, firefighters undergo continuous training to keep their skills sharp for the life-and-death situations they may face. The ability to be ready for anything at any time is crucial, and teamwork is vital in these challenging situations.

Working effectively within a team is emphasized as an essential quality for dependable firefighters, but it's not the sole requirement for this demanding profession.

The director said that what’s also important is “to be reliable to complete tasks alone.” He added, “Firefighters always put their safety second to the public. I think this is why they are so loved around the world.”
