Rescue worker’s helmet

A white helmet with a red cross, worn by rescue crews and first aid teams. It stands for emergency response, first aid, safety and help on the way.

Used for paramedics, disaster relief, volunteer rescue teams and safety training, often next to 🚑 or 🆘. In casual chat it can mean someone is stepping in to save a situation.

It is not a firefighter's helmet; people use 🧑‍🚒 or 🚒 for that.
