Top Ten Lists

Once again, I give you the best firefighting calendars for 2019. I have enjoyed putting this article since 2010. For the most part, each of these calendars below represent dozens of people who volunteer their time to produce and market a calendar each year to raise money for their charity.

While there are no prizes for being named a top calendar here on Fire Critic, there are bragging rights...and ultimately the purpose of this post is to help sell more calendars which will help out more charities.

Each year, firefighters around the World get together to publish firefighter calendars. One thing can be said about these firefighters...they do a great job of taking care of themselves and should be commended for it. More than that, they are doing a great benefit to the fire service by supporting others through charity.

Check out this list of 10 books on leadership that every firefighter should read. What would you add to the list?

My firehouse has actively tried to eat healthier over the last 6 years. We don't always succeed, and when others travel to our station they often ask if we are eating salad for lunch. At least we are trying!

Each year, I set out to create a list of firefighting gifts for firefighters. Consider this a decent start to shopping for that special firefighter in your life. If you are a firefighter, you might just share this with your friends and family. The list varies from year to year, and yes there are plenty of other great gifts out there. Take the time to check it out and share it with your friends! Enjoy

56 MORE Top Firefighting Books! That's right, you all weighed in on the best books and I have compiled the lists. This is part II which includes 56 books on top of the 54 original books. That's 110 books that you should check out!

I have compiled a list of "Must Read" books as told to me by my readers. I asked what the best fire service books were and got over 50 books mentioned in over 80 comments over at The Fire Critic Facebook Page. Sure, there may be some that were left out, but I think this is a pretty decent list! I have not read many of these...I didn't even know about many of them before today. I have included links to Amazon, so you can get more information and/or purchase them at decent prices. Feel free to add your favorites in the comments if they don't appear here. There are 54 books listed below. Many of the authors have more books on and off this list.
