Hunky firefighters have stripped down to red braces and very little else for a sizzling new calendar.
The topless heroes have swapped their protective jackets for bare chests while posing alongside everything from rescue kittens to a crocodile.
One pulse-raising snap shows a heavily tattooed firefighter grinning beside a lake with the reptile stretched across his muscular torso.

Another hunk poses beneath a gum tree while carefully cradling a spiky echidna.
And a separate collection sees the shirtless firefighters cuddle tiny rescue kittens against colourful floral and patterned backdrops, as reported by Need To Know.
The 2027 Australian Firefighters Calendar comes in five versions – Dog, Cat, Horse, Mixed Animal and Hero.
It marks the calendar’s 34th year of combining eye-catching snaps with fundraising for animal welfare, disaster recovery and first-responder programmes.
Every cat and kitten featured in this year’s Cat Edition is a rescue animal.
Among the organisations being supported is Best Friends Felines, an Australian charity which cares for cats and kittens while finding them permanent homes.
Funds also go to Wildcare Incorporated, which rehabilitates sick, injured and orphaned wildlife in Australia’s Northern Territory.
The calendar has also supported Volunteer Fire Brigades Victoria’s Volunteer Support and Recovery Trust.
The trust provided financial help to 23 volunteer firefighters who lost their homes during bushfires.
Organisers say the calendar has helped donate more than $3.5million to good causes since launching in 1993.
This year’s edition also marks its biggest international rollout yet, with the shirtless stars expanding their presence across Europe and Asia.
For the first time, the calendar is supporting L’Arca di Natalia, an animal sanctuary in Sicily.
The Aussie firefighters have already proved a huge hit overseas.
A previous appearance at the China International Import Expo reportedly saw more than 5,000 people join a waiting list for just 1,200 calendars.
Related content also clocked up more than 10million views on Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu.
Sales in Hong Kong raised $37,000 for Hong Kong Dog Rescue and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Hong Kong.
A further 1,000 donated calendars helped generate $20,000 for a Hong Kong Red Cross appeal.
The 2027 Australian Firefighters Calendar is available through its official website and Amazon.
