Fire men seem to come out of the same places that imps do, but they are a little bolder and can go out past the lava vent. They leave behind a block of ash when killed.

To stop fire men from attacking your dwarves, build a moat around the lava vent. If you can, fill it with water from a river or a brook. Designating the moat as a pond should also work.

After you have made a moat, the firemen should stop attacking.


To stop them from attacking your smiths is a little harder.

  • First dig a channel but do not let it fill with lava yet
  • Then put vertical steel bars as close to the entrance of the lava as you can (in the channel)
  • Dig out the rest of the lava channel
  • Then add walls to box in any lava squares that are before the steel bars.
  • This stops the firemen from getting out before the steel bars.
