Trailblazing: Women have always been firefighters

Space2, is proud to present Trailblazing—a compelling new play inspired by the real-life stories of women firefighters from Yorkshire. Spanning from the Second World War to the present day, the production brings to life a wide range of experiences, from air raids and car accidents to farm fires, hosing down elephants, and even delivering old fire engines to Ukraine.

Trailblazing goes beyond the action of firefighting to explore the deeper challenges these women face—how they prepare for the unexpected, navigate adversity, and remain driven by a shared commitment to helping others.
