The highly anticipated 2026 Australian Firefighters Calendar is back, presenting its most visually stunning collection yet! Famous for showcasing firefighters in striking, often shirtless poses—either solo or posing with animals—the calendar serves as a vital fundraiser for a variety of good causes. Funds raised are directed toward supporting children’s hospitals, mental wellness programs for first responders, disaster relief efforts both in Australia and internationally, and various animal welfare organizations.

For this year, buyers can choose from five distinct editions: one featuring Dogs, one with Cats, one with Horses, a Mixed Animal version, and the Hero Edition, which focuses exclusively on the firefighters themselves without any animals. Every version also provides exclusive, supplementary material that offers a candid look at the daily lives of these everyday heroes. Over the years, profits from the calendar have consistently aided those affected by natural catastrophes. In 2024, funds were sent to support victims of Hurricanes Helene and Milton in the U.S., while the 2025 focus shifted to helping animals displaced by the devastating California wildfires—a cause that deeply resonated with many of the firefighters involved.

“The calendar’s crew makes a trip to Pasadena every year for CatCon, America’s largest event for cat enthusiasts,” explained David Rogers, director of the calendar company, in a statement released to PEOPLE. “Seeing those familiar areas consumed by flames and speaking with local residents was emotionally overwhelming.” In response, the team immediately produced and distributed a special calendar to assist displaced animals in Pasadena, dedicating all profits to the Pasadena Humane Society (PHS). Kevin McManus, PHS communications director, expressed profound gratitude for the donation:

“Given how closely this disaster mirrored the wildfires the Australian firefighters are accustomed to managing, their support was incredibly meaningful. Their generous contribution enabled us to provide essential aid to animals impacted by the Eaton Fire,” he stated. The charitable reach of the 2026 calendar goes beyond just animal protection. Earlier this year, it made a donation to the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund after floods caused significant damage across parts of Texas. The money helped rebuild damaged homes, support mental health services for affected citizens, and assist in restoring community spirit in the region.

For firefighter Lincoln Decker, participating in the relief efforts held a special personal meaning. “My sister lives close to the areas hit by the Kerr County floods. Being able to contribute to supporting that community makes me immensely proud,” he shared. The Australian Firefighters Calendar is currently available for purchase in physical stores, through its official website, and on Amazon. Furthermore, fans can download the companion app, which features complimentary exclusive content, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and interactive functions.
