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.

Scott Tenney, a career firefighter/paramedic has come up with a series of car care products named Element Armor. A couple of months ago he sent me some of "The Game Changer" which is a spray on/spray off vehicle wax. I used it almost immediately on my jeep and have been happy with the quality and protection it gave my jeep since. When I give the jeep a wash, I can still tell it has wax on it because the water beads up. 

Check out this time-lapse video created by Brotherhood Leatherworks. Each helmet front they make is custom and made by hand.

While this may not be the first right angle light offered to the fire service, it is certainly one of the better ones because it is lightweight and offers many more options with the tilting head, downward floodlight, strobe, etc. 

Robert Piparo and Ewa Hlebowicz of 555Fitness were on Harry Connick Jr's show this morning and Harry went through a firefighter workout with them.

No one was injured in a fire Wednesday at an unused building in Durham, officials confirmed. The building, located at 5304 Groucho Lane near Highway 70, was once the Sea to Shore Seafood restaurant.

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.

The lesson here is to utilize this video locally in your department to discuss your actions and how you would respond if you were first on scene. Maybe if given the same incident, you might be able to decrease the loss. 

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.....
