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.

1-10-2018 LAFD 26’s & 15’s first on scene at 1711 South New Hampshire Avenue reported fire showing from the second floor of a large two story house. With flames showing on the the south side and heavy smoke pushing from the front Los Angeles Firefighters forced entry on the second floor, attacking the fire with several handlines.

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.

Tuesday afternoon crews were dispatched to the 1700 Blk of Butz Rd for a reported house fire. Crews arrived on location to a working fire in the garage extending to the home and quickly struck a 2nd alarm. Crews put multiple lines in service to knock down the fire, the fire was placed under control about an hour into the job.....

On Friday October 6th, 2017 San Bernardino County Fire responded to a structure fire in the 16000 block of Pepper Tree Dr. in the city of Victorville. County fire responded with a total of 4 paramedic engines, 1 truck company, 1 paramedic squad, 1 chief officer and 1 fire investigator for a total of 19 personnel. The fire was knocked down in approx. 15 minutes. There were no injuries to civilians or firefighters. The cause is under investigation. 

Hanford California Firefighters fought a house fire on October 24th in the 400 block of Grangeville Blvd.

The first video is a view from behind the house. The second video is from a drone on the front side overhead. The fire occurred on Monday afternoon in Lithonia (Dekalb County) on North Hileah Court. 

Admit it, rarely is there a 360 walk around done at fires. At least not the fires I have been to...both of them. ha.  Sure, a lot of times we are afforded the view of 3 or 4 sides just on the approach.

This was a vacant house fire with an occupied apartment building as an exposure. 1st due had fire thru the roof of the vacant upon arrival and started knocking with a handline and tank water as NO plug was available.

Monday afternoon Lehigh County transmitted a box assignment for 495 Green Street North Catasauqua, PA for a house fire.
