Alijah Johnson, firefighter and paramedic from Chesapeake, Virginia, is featured in the 2025 Australian Firefighters Calendar. #Powerjournalist Markos Papadatos has the scoop.
He is one of two Americans featured in that calendar this year. Australian Firefighters support Hurricane Helene survivors through donation from the 2025 Australian Firefighters Calendar, which raises funds for multiple charities.
The Australian Firefighters Calendar is proud to announce a special initiative to support citizens and animals affected by Hurricane Helene and Milton. Through our partnership with Greater Good Charities, we are donating funds to provide immediate relief and aid to impacted communities. This collaboration aims to deliver essential resources, such as food, shelter, and medical assistance, to those in need, helping families rebuild their lives after the devastation of the hurricane. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who have faced such significant challenges
Johnson remarked, “It’s been a dream of mine to be in a firefighter calendar, it first started when many people would ask is if I was one of the firefighters from the calendars after I told them I was a firefighter. I would usually respond by laughing it off and say no, but now I am truly grateful and blessed to be in the world’s biggest calendar.”
“This opportunity has been the proudest moment of my career. Being the first Black firefighter featured in this iconic calendar is more than just a personal achievement for me, but it’s a chance to show others you can break barriers, represent your community and be a part of a good cause on a global scale,” Johnson added.
