There's a sincere philanthropic mission behind this move as the

the models’ smoldering (or slobbering) expressions. The calendar’s proceeds will go towards the Children’s Hospital Foundation and the Westmead Children’s Hospital burns unit, as they have since the first edition back in 1993, raising more than $1.3 million for charity over the years. Some of this installment's sales will also be donated to Mates4Mates, which provides rehabilitation for current and past members of the Australian Defence Force, and animal care organization RSPCA.

Whether you’re drawn to the dogs, the dudes, or the good deed, you can order yourself a copy of The Firefighters Calendar on its website—it’s for a good cause, after all.
