ALBANY, GA --
Albany firefighters are stripping out of their gear and it's all for a good cause.

Firefighters are posing for a 2013 calendar that will benefit the Salvation Army’s 'House of Hope'.

Thirteen men were selected by a panel based on their physique and personalities.

Not only will the calendar be pleasing to the eyes, it can also be used as a safety guidebook.

“It's going to have stuff like things you should do doing the Christmas holidays with Christmas lights and safety tips for when you first start up your fireplace and what to do if you smell gas or something like that,” says Albany Firefighter Donald Jackson.

The calendar is expected to be available for sale by this fall.
