Firefighter battle droids[1] were specialized B1-series battle droids equipped with enhanced heat shielding[5] that were programmed and equipped to fight fires.[1] Notable for their distinctive paint and heavy backpacks,[1] which featured the numbers 72066 running down either side,[4] they carried fire hoses that sprayed fire-repellent foam.[1] During the Clone Wars, several of them served aboard the Malevolence, a Subjugator-class heavy cruiser that served as the flagship of General Grievous.[4] Decades later, R0-GR, the self-proclaimed last of the B1 battle droids, included the firefighter units in his book droidography. In the book, R0-GR claimed the firefighters were brave and that it was a result of them being from the B1-series.[5]
