you should have paid attention in chemistry class
not only is helium non flammable it's also a fire retardant
Helium is a very interesting substance, very useful and also finite.
any free helium gas escapes into space, so it's generally stored and shipped as a liquid, but it will escape any container without a completely sealed chamber. The US has maintained a helium reserve for decades but has been steadily selling it off

Are they going to attach the top to an asteroid in orbit? I've always hear that was the plan

Interestingly, Helium isnt flammable, yet Helium-3 is a potential fuel source for nuclear fusion. It's abundant on the moon of all places and a big reason why some countries want to get there and mine it. Supposedly a space shuttle bay full of H3 from the moon has the capacity to capacity to power the US for a whole year. Crazy stuff. I think it's interesting this never gets more press.
