Firefighters across Britain are receiving new helmets that have an uncanny resemblance to the Stormtroopers from Star Wars. The futuristic helmets are fitted with cameras, a flashlight, and radio to harness the latest technology in fighting fires.
The helmets, which cost about $190 each, can resist temperatures up to 1,832 degrees F. The gold-plated visors can be pulled down for major fires.
So what do you think? Would you be freaked out if a Stormtrooper-looking firefighter walked into your house?
