If you enjoy both hot, really built men and cuddly pets, then you really need one of these: a charity calendar featuring hunky, half-naked firemen -- and one fierce female firefighter.
The2015 Charleston Firefighter Calendaris a hot seller, thanks to Internet publicity and the fact each of these brave beefcakes and their sultry female colleague is posed with a huggable puppy or kitten.
And if the photographs aren't enough enticement, there's also a YouTube channel where you can check out the Mister of the month of your choice, along with their adorable puppies and kitty cats. Miss November is there, too.
Although it's not known if any of the firefighters are LGBT, marriage equality has been the law of the land in South Carolina since November, when the Supreme Court refused a motion by the state attorney general, requesting a stay of a federal appeals court ruling approving the issuance of marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
The Charleston Animal Society's second annual firefighter calendar was featured in a Buzzfeed listicle earlier this week, and that has sparked worldwide demand for the calendar of South Carolina's sexiest firefighters.
The Post and Courier reported orders are coming in from as far away as Peru, Hong Kong, Germany, Brazil, Norway, South Africa and Australia.
And best of all, every penny of the proceeds goes to Toby's Fund, which benefits injured, abused and neglected animals. The fund was set up "to sustain the first no-kill community in the Southeast."
The 2015 Charleston Firefighter Calendar sells for $20 and is available HERE.
