The Firefighter Helmet is the hard, brimmed helmet worn by fire crews. It is protective gear worn in the Hat slot. It is one of the best all-round helmets for a survivor in cold or wet weather.
Its main strength is that it mixes strong protection with real warmth. It stops most bites and scratches on the head and never falls off. Its main costs are its weight, a little discomfort and a narrower field of view.
Fire station storage rooms are the best place to find one. Work lockers in changing rooms, break rooms and garages hold one now and then. The Tailor is the best occupation for protective gear. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The helmet stops about seven bites in ten and four scratches in five on the head. It stays on through every hit and fall, so the head stays covered in a fight.
It is also warm. It keeps the head well insulated, blocks most wind and keeps out more than half the rain. That makes it a strong pick for winter and for rainy days.
A Hard Hat and a Military Helmet give the same bite and scratch guard. Both are much colder, and the Military Helmet can fall off now and then. A Football Helmet matches the protection and sheds even more rain. It cuts vision twice as much and slows attacks a little.
The helmet cuts vision by a quarter and adds some discomfort. It takes the Hat slot, so no other hat can go on with it. Hooded jackets, hooded sweaters and full head pieces also clash with it.
Locations
The Firefighter Helmet is an uncommon find outside fire stations. Fire station storage rooms keep one on the shelves about a quarter of the time. Lockers in fire station garages and storage rooms hold one now and then. So do lockers in bathrooms, break rooms, changing rooms and garages.
Backstage rooms and survivor safehouses turn one up only rarely.
