Firefighters wow netizens with soccer photos

Firefighters are often dusty and fully equipped at fires, but a series of photos showing a group of the public servants playing soccer has made them Internet stars.

The poster-style artistic photos include cloudy and rainy weather, training buildings, advanced firetrucks and fire hoses, as well as the most important element - handsome and rugged firefighters from the firefighting detachment of Chongqing's Yubei district.

The photos were issued on Monday by the official micro blog of a TV program under the Fire Department of the Ministry of Public Security. A caption reads: "I'm a soldier at the fire scene, and a star on the playground. We are not being crazy, but are just celebrating the World Cup in our own way."
