"Fire Belle" is a 1956 pin-up painting by Gil Elvgren. It depicts a woman in a fireman's helmet and boots, holding onto a fireman's pole while wearing a revealing outfit. This classic example of pin-up art reflects the popular culture of the 1950s, often portraying women in alluring poses with a touch of humor and fantasy. Elvgren's signature style, known for its vibrant colors, realistic details, and playful subject matter, made him one of the most successful pin-up artists of his time.
