Meet "Mr. Tampa": Fire Lt. Jeremy Finney

Tampa Fire Rescue Lt. Jeremy Finney has a new title these days: "Mr. Tampa."

Finney is one of a dozen firefighters selected from around the country to appear in the first-ever national firefighter calendar, "Nation's Bravest: Firefighters Unite." The other firefighters are from Charlotte, Chicago, Las Vegas, Minneapolis, New Orleans, New York, Philadelphia, San Antonio, San Francisco, St. Louis, and Seattle.

Sales from the $19.95 calendar benefit 12 charities the firefighters selected. Finney, a father of two children, selected Camp Hopetake Children's Burn Camp, where he acts as director. The local camp serves children ages 5 through 17 living with burn injuries.
