Helmet fire

Okay kiddo, so you know how we wear helmets to protect our heads, right? Well, sometimes things can get so hot that our helmets can actually catch on fire!

This happens when something really hot, like a fire or an explosion, is near our head and the heat is too much for the helmet to handle. The heat can make the material in the helmet melt or catch on fire.

Now, when a helmet catches on fire, it is very important to stay calm and try to put it out quickly. We can do this by taking the helmet off and using water or a fire extinguisher to put out the flames.

That's why it's important to always be careful around fire and explosions, and to make sure we have the right safety gear, like fire-resistant helmets, to protect us if something does go wrong.
