Heat shield?

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post about this but just had a quick question.... Not even sure if its called a heat shield or not, but i think its to dampen a fire just in case it happens in the engine bay. But what i'm trying to get at is, is it to dampen and put out a fire in the engine bay, or does it reduce heat. I want to take it off but will the drastic change in temperature on the hood do anything to the clear coat or paint? Sorry for the poorly worded paragraph... lol
