Firefighters posing for a good cause
The wait is over…..The world’s most popular calendar is back! The Australian Fire Service 2024 calendar has been launched and is now in its 31st year of production.
Since its launch in 1993, the calendar has donated more than $3.4 million to charities across Australia. The proud history of the calendar, which has supported animal shelters and Australian wildlife in the past, will continue into the future. Rural Australian firefighters and children with cancer will also once again benefit from the donations raised.
The Australian Firefighters Calendar can be found on fans’ walls in over 90 countries around the world. Firefighters featured in the calendar are in high demand to appear in some of the world’s most popular TV shows and magazines. From Germany to Taiwan, the USA to Japan, the firefighters in the calendar use their popularity to spread the message of Australian wildlife conservation.
In addition to serving as a “super mega kitch” souvenir, you will be supporting a good cause! Do not hesitate to visit the Firefighter calendar site to find out more or buy your wallpaper.

Why an Australian Firefighters Calendar?
The reasons for creating the calendar
The Australian Firefighters Calendar was established in 1993 to support the Children’s Hospital Foundation, providing funds for childhood burn research. Twenty-nine years later, the Australian Firefighters Calendar has raised over $3.4 million for various charities.
Every year, Australian firefighters pose for the good cause, a cause that changes from year to year. The calendar has also diversified and there are now several editions of it. You can choose the classic calendar but also opt for a calendar with firefighters and kittens (Cat Calendar) but also a version with horses, dogs, in denim… In short, with so many different editions, there is something for everyone!
