A slew of hot firefighters gathered last Friday in Denver for the release party for the 2013 Colorado Firefighter Calendar. The music as blaring, shirts came off, and I have some insider photos for you from a young woman who was there taking it all in.

You might even recognize a few of those firefighters who have bodies that we all dream about having. Rebecca and Erik were both in our studios last week and Derek and I got to take them on in a few physical challenges (And yes we have video of it).

What is all this chest-baring celebration for? Charity, of course! They do these calendars and these events to raise money for the Children's Hospital Burn Center. A very worthy cause that a lot of these firefighters have personal ties to.

Founded in 2011, by a group of visionaries who wanted to do more for burn victims in the community and raise fire safety awareness, the Colorado Firefighter Calendar is comprised of a volunteer board of directors who plans and produces the calendar, calendar events and child safety educational programs.  Firefighters from around the state volunteer time to raise funds, attend events, educate children on fire prevention and increase awareness for the Children's Hospital Colorado Burn Center and other centers around Colorado. These men and women represent one of the noblest professions and the calendar serves as a tribute to firefighters and the people they serve.  Net proceeds received from the sale of calendars and special events will directly benefit the Children's Hospital Colorado Burn Center and centers across the state.
