The respected first responders of Colorado’s fire departments are skilled at saving lives and combating wildfires, but once a year, they approach things a bit differently: by turning up the heat.
The annual Fire Rescue Dogs Calendar, created by a number of Denver Metro firefighters, features 18 male firefighters who have stepped out of their protective gear to model alongside some very special guests: Adoptable puppies.
Calendars sell like hotcakes at $20 a pop, all benefitting Lifeline Puppy Rescue, a no-kill shelter based in the Rocky Mountain region.
“It’s our biggest fundraiser for Lifeline Puppy Rescue,” Amy VanDerbroek, the calendar’s project manager, told 9NEWS Denver.
“It’s raised over $950,000 over the past ten years. Our goal this year is to raise another $200,000.” (continued)
