Taipei's fire department released their 2014 calendar earlier this week, featuring 12 of their sexiest male and
female firefighters selected from various divisions.
The department's burly men and sexy women shot to fame across Taiwan ever since the
release of its very first calendar six years ago.
You may not expect it, but there many inspiring stories among the group of 12.
Tsai Chieh-Hsun, the firefighter for December, used to weigh more than 100 kg (220 lbs).
His love life, as he describes it, was a catastrophe and he failed in every attempt to find a girlfriend.
With a bit of commitment though, he managed bulk up and lost more than 30 kg (66 lbs)
over a four year period.
November's model Huang Shun-Sheng used to be a self-described geek and refused to take
part in any form of exercise. His only hobbies were watching TV and playing video games.
A few years ago, though he discovered just how happy exercise actually made him and now
actively takes part in various different sports.
Three female firefighters are also featured in the February and May sections of the calendar.
Taipei's fire department only plans to release 530 calendars this year and plans to distribute
them during the firemen’s festival in January.
