'''Fire men''' are exceptionally rare [[construct creature]]s made of [[fire]] found in the [[magma sea]]. They stand at the size of a [[human]], feel no emotion or [[No Exert|exertion]], are [[No Pain|immune to pain]] and [[No Stun|cannot be stunned]]. When a fire man is killed, it leaves behind a [[bar]] of [[ash]] which can be made into [[lye]] or [[potash]]. Because they live at the magma sea and are [[building destroyer]]s, one should be cautious when setting up [[magma forge]]s in the event one actually shows up. Despite being made of fire, they can be safely captured and stored in wooden [[cage]]s. Fire men are immortal and only die from violence.

Fire men are only dangerous because of their natural heat and fire attacks (a fireball throw and a fire jet throw, respectively). Their punches and kicks are harmless on their own, and their flame body is extremely fragile, so don't be surprised if a baby punches a fire man to death. However, actually killing a fire man can be quite [[fun]], as the resulting burst of flame tends to set nearby creatures on fire.

Make sure you remove any books from your possession when facing a Fire Man in adventure mode. Sighting a book will send the Fire Man into a murderous rage!
 
 
 
== In real life ==
 
 
 
"Fire man", also spelt "fireman", is an archaic English spelling for a firefighter.  In real life, they are not made of fire{{Verify}}, and in fact tend to quell it rather than spread it.

== Fighting Fire men ==
 +
Fire men are one if not the strongest thing in all of DF. They can take out a Roc and Hydra with 1 hit from its fireball. Far surpassing the [[!FUN!]] that mega beasts or forgotten beasts will achieve. 1 Fire Man can take on an Army of 100 sword and shield welding dwarfs. Nothing can stop them and i recommend retreating admittedly and seal off your fort with obsidian. Crossbow, Mace, Sword, NOTHING will kill them, Dwarfs cant block fireballs or dodge so there is no point in fighting. He WILL destroy your fortress and i have no advice for saving you except LOSING IS FUN.
