 The fire helmet is one of two sources of fire resistance for a starting Firefighter, and offers protection from [[falling rock trap]]s and [[piercer]]s. Even after they find a better helm (such as a [[dwarvish iron helm]] from the [[Mines]]), the fire helmet is worth keeping in inventory for the resistance until they reach [[experience level]] 15 and/or obtain the Fire Chief Helmet. Other roles without intrinsic fire resistance will likely want this as a temporary source to tide them over until they can obtain it from a corpse, [[Ring of fire resistance|ring]] or other source. While intrinsic fire resistance is enough to justify removing the helm, it can still be lost to [[intrinsic theft]], e.g. from [[gremlin]]s or one of the adverse effects of sitting on a [[throne]].

 {{wikipedia|Firefighter's helmet}}
 Firefighters have worn helmets for centuries to protect them from heat, cinders and falling objects. Their material composition has evolved over the years, from traditional leather to metals (including brass, nickel and aluminum), and then to composite helmets constructed of lightweight polymers and other plastics - all the while, their distinctive shape has changed very little.

-For SlashTHEM Firefighters, who start the game with intrinsic fire resistance, their starting fire helmet is effectively a heavier [[orcish helm]]; as such, it will at least suffice for protection from [[falling rock trap|falling rocks]] and [[piercer]]s until they find a better helm, such as a [[dwarvish iron helm]] from the [[Mines]] or the Fire Chief Helmet, whose extrinsics more than compensate for the base item.
