The hottest Vancouver calendar of the year needs your help selecting its sizzling new lineup.

Every year, Vancouver Firefighter Charities releases a calendar complete with a selection of firefighter models to raise money for at-risk children, adults and families throughout British Columbia.

For the first time ever, VFC is asking the public to help decide who will grace the pages of the 35th annual Hall of Flame calendar by voting online.

While casting for the 2022 calendar, VFC has selected 18 potential candidates: 10 from Vancouver, six from Delta, one from New Westminster, and one from North Vancouver.

Supporters are invited to vote for their favourites until June 28. Following the public voting period, the top 12 earn a place in next year’s steamy calendar.

Also new for the 2022 edition, firefighters will be making hearts melt even more by posing with adorable four-legged companions. A variety of ‘hot dogs’ and loveable puppies will appear across the pages of the 12-month wall calendar alongside some of the city’s hottest firsts responders.

Proceeds from the calendar sales will be donated to BC Professional Firefighters Burn Fund in addition to VFC’s own charitable outreach programs for at-risk communities throughout British Columbia, including Snacks for Kids and Lifelines for Seniors. To date, the fundraiser has raised more than 1,000,000 for communities in need in Vancouver and beyond.

“After more than a year of unprecedented hardship within our communities, we're inviting all members of the public to have a little fun this summer and help us choose the firefighters they want to appear in our 2022 Hall of Flame calendar,” says co-ordinator Brandon Kaye.
