I think Pyrrha knows when to help people and when not to. Of the characters introduced I could see Ruby, Nora, Yang and Blake going out of their way.

We've already seen Blake letting her emotions get the better of her when she rushed into the cargo bay in Black and White simply because she believed the White Fang were being manipulated or coerced in some way by Roman.

Yang will obviously do all she can to protect Ruby, this same behaviour will likely be extended to Weiss and Blake as she grows closer to them, as well as anyone she is shipped with and possibly JNPR. Though beyond loyalty to the point in which Yang will die for the others to live, I doubt she will have any issues with keeping herself in check.

Ruby is far too young and naive to understand when a cause is lost, when a person is beyond saving or when when she quite literally cannot help. I can see her trying to help Weiss or Blake come to terms with their pasts for example despite knowing nothing of (their) grief or of how to comfort people. I can also see her trying to help Cinder or the Malachites if we see a more gentle, innocent side from them at all throughout the conflicts. Lastly, and probably most obvious to most, I don't see Ruby retreating, not when her friends are in danger and certainly not when anyone else who can't help themselves are either. I see that coming into play at some point and either leading to an injury, a death or perhaps some massive emotional conflict between either her and Weiss or her and Yang depending on who would have to drag her away from the battlefield.

Nora I can easily see being as protective of Ren as Yang is of Ruby. Judging from her reactions in Players and Pieces (in which the only time her carefree, joyous nature disappears is when Ren is in danger) I could see her doing whatever it takes to save Ren should his life be in danger.

Of course the same probably holds true for everyone. Jaune, Pyrrha, Ren, Blake and Weiss would all die to save others, but in particular I could see Nora or Yang doing the heroics with Ruby and Blake's either past loyalties or misconceptions of the world getting in their way. Pyrrha I don't see being as brash and stubborn as Ruby, she'll know, at least in combat, when someone can be saved.
