A type of iron fire helmet with a crest was developed by the Central Research Institute of Fire Protection by order of the Main Fire Department of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs. She was presented for testing in 1955. Beginning in 1961, fire helmets on the Type M-103-61 index, after modifications, began to be mass-produced in the Mozhaysk labor camp of the Moscow Region. They were made by stamping using welding, although initially the parts were mounted on pins and rivets. Over time, the fire helmet not only served as a protection, but also became a symbol of the fire brigade. As an attribute of professional prowess, the fire helmet logo was used to identify firefighters, placing it on cockades, badges, and a pug . Vitsah With the advent of voluntary fire-fighting units assortment of helmets has increased several times, and packaged them for all tastes After the creation in 1893 of the Russian fire society became an emblem to represent on fire helmets, borrowing the motto of the German volunteers, "Praise God - neighbor protection.".
At the beginning of the Soviet period, helmets were sorely lacking in fire brigades. Only in Ukraine in 1921, 5600 hats for firefighters were needed. Therefore, the leadership of the country's fire department turned to the military department with a request to issue helmets for firefighters. The request was partially satisfied by issuing 5 thousand military-style hats. At the same time, fire helmets were issued in the Russian Empire and purchased abroad; they had various shapes and types, but they did not satisfy the fire service - then they sought to unify clothes. In addition, externally spectacular fire helmets did not always meet safety conditions. Collected on tin solders, they were short-lived, often broke, crumpled, although some had wire frames, say, like Lund's helmet. Therefore, the question arose of creating a new model. The decision on a new fire helmet was made at the I All-Russian Fire Conference held in Moscow in March 1923. The basis was taken in the French manner with a truncated crest and a circular visor. A coat of arms with fire attributes and the slogan “Always ready” were fastened ahead. For firefighters' heads, helmets were chrome-plated, privates wore brass in natural color. By special order, they were equipped with a strap in the form of jewelry with type-setting overlays. Manufactured at the fire extinguishing equipment factory of the State Trust of the Petrograd mass production plants “Tremass”. There were three sizes with an inner circumference of 560, 580 and 600 mm. Such a hat weighed 880 g. Due to the desire to replace non-ferrous metals with black, characteristic of the early 1930s, the production of such helmets decreased, they were replaced by standard helmets made of iron, which practically did not differ from brass in appearance, and made them from metal 0.5 mm thick. The halves of the ridge were connected and the front and rear visors were fastened using spot welding. The top surface of the fire helmet was covered with refractory black varnish. They were produced in three sizes, according to the standard since 1936. With the beginning of World War II, the production of fire helmets was stopped. Therefore, almost until the early 1960s, fire and voluntary fire brigades were forced to use military helmets. A type of iron fire helmet with a crest was developed by the Central Research Institute of Fire Protection by order of the Main Fire Department of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs. She was presented for testing in 1955. Beginning in 1961, fire helmets on the Type M-103-61 index, after modifications, began to be mass-produced in the Mozhaysk labor camp of the Moscow Region. They were made by stamping using welding, although initially the parts were mounted on pins and rivets. The era of Soviet metal fire helmets ended in 1973 when a new model, plastic, began to enter the fire department instead of them, however, in the late 1960s the first Soviet helmet appeared, made from polycarbonate ki "L", which had a leather chin strap. The new product confidently began to displace the metal helmet.
