Top Ten 2012 Male Firefighters Calendars

Welcome to this years Top Ten Male Firefighter Calendars. Don’t worry men…The 2012 Top Ten Female Firefighter Calendars can be found here.

I do this as a public service of course… For the ladies!

Each year, the Top Ten Firefighter Calendar article grows a little bit more. In 2010, the list was merely female firefighter calendars. In 2011, it included both female and male calendars. Here we are in 2012 and we have split them into two lists of their own. Be sure to share this article with others. Remember…they are for great causes.

*if you have a calendar, be sure to notify me when yours comes out next year so it can be included. I still find it amazing at how difficult it is to find information on some of these calendars….
