And this weekend a new one-woman play, celebrating the story of female firefighters from Yorkshire, will premier at Gipton Old Fire Station.

Trailblazing-Women Have Always Been Firefighters tells the story of three women between 1939 and the present day. It is inspired by the true stories of women who fought fires during the Second World War, the first operational female firefighters in the 1980s, and women who have worked in the fire service since the early 2000s until the present day.
