Charity the winner as fireys hit the hot spot in 2014 calendar Hot firemen launch the NSW Fire Fighters Calendar at Sydney Tower Skywalk. (L-R) Jeff, Mick, Brenton and Adam. The 2014 NSW Firefighters Calendar will raise funds for the Burns Unit at The Children's Hospital at Westmead. THESE firefighters will likely have more than just fires to put out when their calendar goes on sale later this month. Fourteen fireys from across NSW gave up their downtime to ditch their shirts and pose up - to raise money for the Children's Hospital at Westmead burns unit. Firefighters Calendar co-ordinator Rhett Mitchell said those featured were the "elite" - whittled down from firefighters across the state who volunteered for the opportunity. Begun in 2005 and run independent of Fire and Rescue NSW, the calendars have raised $206,000 and Mr Mitchell said they aimed to add a further $50,000 to the tally this year. Posing with some fellow pin-ups on top of Sydney Tower yesterday to promote the calendar, 23-year-old Brenton - who scored the coveted front cover - said he trained for months to get camera-ready. January's pin-up Mick, 34, said it was his first time posing but visiting the burns unit had put everything in perspective. "When you see what they're doing, how they're helping, and when you get to meet nurses and doctors and the kids and their families, this is a great thing, because every little bit helps," he said. Launching the 2014 NSW Fire Fighters Calendar at Sydney Tower Skywalk: (L-R) Jeff, Mick, Brenton, Adam, Michael, Marty and Dan. The calendars will be available online and from Coffee Club cafes from October 24. Putting their day jobs on hold, these firemen, from stations across NSW, gave up their downtime, ditched their shirts and posed up; all in the name of charity. The 14 fire-fighters volunteered to feature in the annual Firefighters Calendar, which raises money for the burns unit of the Children's Hospital in Westmead. Co-ordinator of the calendars Rhett Mitchell said those featured were the "elite NSW off-duty firemen," whittled down from fire-fighters across the state who put their hands up for the opportunity. Started in 2005 and run independent to the RFS, Mr Mitchell said they have raised $206,000 to date, and aim to add a further $50,000 this year, with all proceeds donated to the hospital. Brenton, 23, who scored the coveted front cover, said it had been a gruelling few months leading up to the shoot to get camera ready. "It's a lot of training, a lot of cardio, trying to get rid of that fat, a lot of working on the abs and working to get some nice arms," he said. January's pin-up Mick, 34, said it was his first time posing for the calendar and it was an important way to keep things in perspective, especially after visiting the hospital. "We went out to the burns unit at the start of the year and when you actually physically see what they're doing with it, how they're helping and when you get to meet nurses and doctors and especially the kids and their families, it puts everything in perspective and this is a great thing, because every little bit helps," he said.
