Sexy female firefighter, 26, turns up the heat after reaching the finals of bodybuilding competition

Smoking Charlotte Anderson is Britain’s hottest firefighter – after reaching the finals of a body sculpture championships.

Sexy Charlotte, 26, wowed judges in the ‘body fitness’ category, where contestants are judged on their glamorous looks as well as their rippling muscles.

She reckons her gruelling training with Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service has helped hone her incredible physique.

“I am not scared of weights or sweating,” said Charlotte, of Shepton Mallet, Somerset.

“There is plenty of time to look girly when I get dressed up and go out, but when I’m at the gym it’s the same as being at the fire ground, it’s both sweat and stamina.”

Charlotte is a retained firefighter at Shepton Mallet fire station and also works at her local council.

She won second place in the bodyfitness category at the South West Classic Bodybuilding and Open Championships last month and will now compete in the final in Harrogate on October 18.

“It’s called body fitness and the goal is for a more natural look to the muscles than bodybuilding,” she said.

“Girls are expected to have pageant appearances, so they are marked on looks and hair as well as muscle tone and size.

“I have been on a pre-competition diet for the last four months which means eating every three hours with a strict exercise regime of at least three hours a day.

“Typically I work two muscle groups at a time in a four day spilt. I train by myself which is hard but push bigger weights every time.

“I am hoping to work up to the next class of physique but lean muscle will take years to obtain naturally but is worth the patience and dedication.”
