In a move that's only going to reinforce their macho sterotype, the UK government has now introduced new uniform (read: costumes) for our country's firefighting heroes, Storm Trooper helmets!

The new Storm Trooper-esque helmets have a fitted torch, camera and radio link so the real-life Fireman Sam can fight fire with technology, whilst looking like Storm Troopers.

Their Storm Trooper helmets can resist temperatures of up to 1832F (1000C) and are topped off by a rather shiny gold-plated visor There's no denying, it's a definitely a good look.


What next, Police forces with Darth Vader armour?
