21 June 2025

Yesterday evening we celebrated the dedication and achievements of women across the fire sector at the women in fire safety awards.

Reading time:

The speeches were thoughtful and candid

It was particularly valuable to hear more about the experiences and challenges women continue to navigate within fire safety and the wider industry.

Events like this play an important role in raising visibility, sharing perspectives, and recognising the contribution being made across the profession.

Congratulations to all of the winners, and to everyone who was nominated. A special mention also goes to Checkmate Fire Solutions’ Sarah Craddock on her well-deserved nomination.

Here’s to continued progress, and to celebrating even more women in fire safety next year.
