Prepare to swoon: The FDNY's Official 2015 Calendar of Heroes goes on sale today and firefighters from the calendar will be in Times Square. And, for the first time, one of the firefighters included is a woman!
Danae Mines, an 11-year veteran at Engine Co. 60 in the Bronx, is one of 41 women in the FDNY. She told the Daily News it's been a dream to be in the calendar but, "I was told that it was all guys. They said if I made it in the calendar, I would look like a pinup girl." Mines is wearing a tank top—but don't worry, the dudes are shirtless. The firefighter on the cover is Joseph Conforti of Ladder Company 163 in Queens.
The Calendar of Heroes firefighters will be at Broadway between 42nd and 43rd streets between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. and they are signing purchased copies (this is the scene from last year). The calendars, which are $15.95 each and are available at the FDNY Foundation, feature 13 active firefighters; the FDNY adds, "Each month brings a fire safety message ensuring that each person who purchases the calendar can remain fire safe all year long."
