These firefighters better be ready to put out some fires after people lay eyes on their newest calendar.

The Firefighters Calendar has become a yearly tradition in Australia and we thank the hot guy gods for it every single time a new photo emerges.

The upcoming calendar will still include all the sexiest Australian firefighters, with the addition of puppies.

Yes, puppies.



The calendar began in 1993 and benefits the Children's Hospital Foundation and the Westmead Children's Hospital's burn unit. Since its inception, funds from calendar sales have raised over $1 million. 

This year, proceeds will also go to the RSPCA, which provides care and protective services for animals. Naturally, with the newest charity addition, the firefighters decided to feature cute creatures in need in their calendar photos.

The pups used in the shoot were on loan from Safe Haven Animal Rescue and are all available for adoption. 

It's unclear if the firefighters are available, too.

Below are several more photos from the 2017 calendar shoot, courtesy of the Firefighters Calendar Australia Facebook page and Instagram









And one with a little kitten, for good measure.
