Tallahassee Fire Department Relases New Calendar

Tallahassee’s firefighters are bringing the heat with a new calendar.

Thursday evening a handful of firefighters—fully dressed—met at a local bar to sell their new calendar.  The PG-13 production helps support local charity efforts.  Tallahassee firefighter Jason Reese—or June—says typically the calendars are a hit, and the models get a little extra attention.

“You will,” Reese says, “you will go on calls and people will recognize you, you’ll go to the store and people will recognize you.  It’s fun.”

The proceeds help support charity efforts like Camp Amigo, an annual week-long camp in north Florida for burn victims.  The firefighters are selling calendars on their websitethrough the end of the year.
