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. It was very fun to do,” said hunky FDNY pin-up Justin Hassan, 35.
Hassan, who lives on Staten Island and works at Ladder 3 in Manhattan, appears on the calendar’s cover shirtless, welding an ax as his massive muscles glisten.
“The photographers just told me what to wear, how to line up. They really made it easy, so I just showed up in shape,” he said.
The steamy calendar — which features one version with male pin-ups, and another with women — is a good way to get New Yorkers hot and bothered about fire safety, the models said.
“I feel like it’s a levity, you know? This is a hilariousness…We never get this much attention. It’s exciting to be here,” said “Miss October” Jennifer Constanzo. “I’m so happy and I’m glad it’s a good cause.”
Constanzo, a 36-year-old paramedic from the Bronx, said her department is full of fit, attractive folks.
“We do have very good looking, hardworking people [in the FDNY],” she said.
In it, smoking hot model Elijah Toussaint, of Engine 260 in Long Island City, is also seen shirtless and ripped, holding a firehose and clutching some gear below his belt.
The calendar, which was previously axed in 2021 due to low post-pandemic sales, hit the stands at 11 a.m. Thursday.
It’s being put out by the FDNY Foundation, a nonprofit that raises funds for Gotham’s fire equipment and training.
At the event Thursday, models piled off a double-decker bus with a huge image of Hassan’s cover photo on the side, and went inside a tent to sign calendars.
“It highlights fitness and wellness, which is so important in the fire department. I mean, these jobs are strenuous and hard, and they require you to be in tip top shape,” FDNY Commissioner Robert Tucker said Thursday.
