When the heat is on, Bowling Green’s bravest know how to handle flames, but it turns out, they’ve also got a soft spot for fur. While Australian firefighters may be known for baring their biceps beside koalas and kittens on charity calendars, our local heroes are proving they’ve got just as much heart!

Bowling Green Firefighters Team Up to Help Shelter Cats Find Homes

Cats and hot firefighters? While Australian firefighters might be famous for their shirtless calendar shoots with cuddly animals, Bowling Green's local heroes (BGFD) are proving they’ve got just as much heart by teaming up with the Bowling Green/Warren County Humane Society this "Friday the 13th" to turn superstition into second chances. It’s all part of National Adopt a Cat Month, and these firefighters are on a new kind of rescue mission by helping shelter cats find furever homes, and we're here for it!

Never mind the kitties. What's the adoption fee for one of the firefighters? I got a flame they can put out! - Jennifer Conner

We agree, Jennifer!

So with every fireman I adopt, I get a free cat. - Valerie Dieterich

Sounds fair, Valerie.

Bowling Green Needs a Calendar Hot Enough to Match Its Firefighters

Dear BGFD Heroes,

We see you! Whether it’s saving lives, supporting local causes, or showing up for the community day after day, we think it’s time to show a different side of you. One that’s a little furrier, a little flirtier, and 100% unforgettable!

Yes! We’re talking about a Bowling Green Firefighters + Cats Charity Calendar. If the Australian firefighters can make headlines (and hearts melt) by cuddling cute animals, surely you can step up for a little friendly competition! Are you ready to turn up the heat and help some paws in need?

I thought FOR SURE this was a sales ad for the calendar!! - Jenny Thomas

Let's make it happen, Jenny! #shirtless

Make a calendar with the kittens, look at the Australian Firefighters kitten calendar, I pay 20.00 to look at "the kittens"! - Jana Stanley

Just the kittens! Sure, Jana! #fire
