FDNY unveils Calendar of Heroes as smoke-show models ready to set New Yorkers hearts on fire

The Big Apple’s burning up for these firefighters!It was a major smoke show in Manhattan Thursday as fans of the FDNY’s sizzling new 2026 “Calendar of Heroes” lined up to meet the hotties who light up its pages.Models featured in the newly relaunched calendar — which famously shows off the department’s biggest babes and beefcakes — signed copies and posed for selfies with fans at Vanderbilt Plaza in Midtown.“This is all in good fun, you know, parts of our job can be very dark.This is just giving us more of a positive light.
