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 directly, but they will still be able to breathe fireballs at your dwarves. Try also building a wall around with the moat. You can also catch them using the same tactics as catching fire imps
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 (iron works too) 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).
