Fire Critic An Unadulterated View of the Fire Service
Once again, I offer you the BEST firefighter calendars from around the World. This year, there is only one list of calendars. In past years, they have been split up between male & female calendars.
As always, I commend each of the firefighters depicted in these calendars for taking the time to get fit or remain fit for the calendar. I know it is hard work. Thank you for all of the calendars who sent in a calendar for review…it makes this process easier.
If your department has a calendar, it helps if you send one to us for judging. Contact The Fire Critic at FireCritic@FireCritic.com. Calendars are ranked using an algorithm focusing on criteria related to the calendars and their websites/SM.

Twelve years ago, Dominic Furby had an golden idea. Whilst serving with Bradford Red Watch he thought that persuading his colleagues to get their tops off would be a great way of raising funds not only for the fire fighters charity but for numerous others. He wasn’t wrong. The Red Hot Dates calendar has grown year on year and proved to be a huge success. Over time it’s helped many charities with funding and support. The calendars feature operational fire fighters but it’s true success is dependant on so many behind the camera.
