Cousin to the [[Fair Cop]], [[Good-Looking Privates]], and [[Hot Men At Work]].

 

{{examples}}

 

* In ''[[The Wrestler]]'', the titular character has a drug and booze fueled one night stand with a random girl in a bar that mentioned having a thing for firemen. [[What Did I Do Last Night?|When he wakes up]], he's in a room ''full'' of firefighter posters and other firefighter related paraphernalia. Even the ''sheets'' on the bed he wakes up in have firemen stamped on them.

* "[[Backdraft]]". Oh, God, that shower scene.

* In ''[[The Nutty Professor]] 2'', Denise's bachelorette party is interrupted by a "fireman" who declares an emergency in the house and turns off the music...only to put in his own tape and start stripping to "The Thong Song".

 

* In ''[[A Tree Grows in Brooklyn]]'', Sissy's first husband was a fireman. Sissy being a [[Good Bad Girl]], lots of sex was involved.

* Jason Halliday in Alison Roberts ''The Firefighter's Baby''.

* Logan Knight of Tory Richards's ''It's All In The Jeans''.

 

* ''[[Friends]]'': Monica, Rachel and Phoebe burn mementos of their former boyfriends because they have nothing else to do for Valentine's day and set part of the apartment on fire. Cue hot firemen. the firemen in that episode talk about how single women set fires accidentally-on-purpose, apparently because of this trope.

** Ends with this great dialogue:

* A common theme in ''[[Sirens]]'' which Stuart really dislikes. He's constantly trying to beat the firemen to the accident scene so they don't steal the glory. He managed it once getting to "save" an "obese" pregnant drunk woman; who while being carried down several flights of stairs moans about how she wanted the firemen. Once they do get downstairs they're showing off their hoses to the women. Finally policewoman Maxine has fallen for a fireman.

 

* The song "Here Kitty" by [[Sparks]] points out the danger in this trope: sure, rescuing cats from trees gets firemen laid, but some cats are too big to handle.

{{quote|A four-alarmer and the circus is ablaze / Panicky people run out madly through the haze / I fight my way into the Big Top, wipe my eyes / There stands a tiger trainer, lovely, hear her cry! / She points up to the high-wire, there a tiger stands / "Oh help me, help me, bring my tiger down, dear man" / "If you will save him, I will be yours every night!" / I climb the pole and look the tiger in the eye...}}

 

* Referenced in ''[[Animal Crossing]].'' One of the letters you can receive from the player character's mother talks about her being rescued by a hunky firemen after an aerobics accident (Apparently, [[You Do NOT Want to Know]].) She ends on the line, "Firemen are cute! * heart* "

 

* [http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/11/27/ This] ''[[Penny Arcade]]'' strip.

* Hannelore from [[Questionable Content]] had a thing for [http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1219 sexy firemen] ... until [http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1224 meeting one up close], anyway.

* Jack, the [[Everyone Looks Sexier If French|half-Japanese]] love interest-cum-[[Mr. Fanservice]] from ''The Green Avenger''.

 

* Used in ''[[The Onion]]'' article "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrsLMcJn_cA Incredibly Sexy Firefighter Tragically Dies In Steamy Blaze]".

 

* ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' uses this while subverting the [[Bachelor Auction]] trope. The auction is to raise money for a new fire engine, but all the town's bachelors are deeply unappealing. Lisa comments "Doesn't this town have any good bachelors", at which point we see all the firefighters who are, of course, muscular eligible bachelors.

** Another example from ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' was when Homer won a free boudoir photoshoot. One of his photos had him pose as a mostly-nude firefighter with the hose wound around his body. Could be considered a subversion in that Homer himself is far from most people's image of a sexy guy, but could also be considered played straight in that a) the photographer had the firefighting equipment available (implying that this is a common scenario for such photos) and b) ''Marge'' found it very alluring indeed.

* Optimus Prime from ''[[Transformers Animated]]'' transforms into a fire truck. Who says he's not sexy?

** What about the fireman who was actually named 'Optimus Prime'? (After having it legally changed)

{{quote|'''Mom:''' "If only someone had invented a fire department to save us! I bet those so-called "firemen" would be very handsome." (cue handsome firemen appearing)

'''Firemen:''' "Fire. Fire. Fire. Rock. Rock. Rock."

'''Mom:''' "Oooh, I was right!" }}

 

* [[Truth in Television|"Firefighter Hunks" calendars]]. Seriously. Go to Google Images and look up "New York City Firemen Calender". Burly sweaty men who ride around on a big red truck, slide down poles, and know how to handle a hose.

* It also appears to be a popular costume for both sexes - but due to the typical costuming [[Double Standard]], the standard male firefighter Halloween costume covers the entire body, with ''maybe'' a shirt that can be opened, and the standard female firefighter Halloween costume involves a bra, miniskirt and stiletto boots.

* Dawn French was once asked what uniform, if any, she would make her husband wear. She picked a fireman's helmet, and nothing else.
