Fireheart

What’s it about?

It’s the 1930s and Georgia has always dreamed of being the world’s first female firefighter despite being told that women aren’t allowed. Firemen across New York City start to disappear, and her father is called out of retirement to lead the investigation. Georgia takes this as her chance to join the Fire Department and disguises herself as a man called “Joe” but quickly learns it’s going to take a lot more than a disguise to stop the serial arsonist.
