This study is about improving the welfare of firefighters, which has not been conducted in depth in previous studies. The overall level of welfare for firefighters was found to be 2.87 points on average (out of 5). Among the welfare status items, the most common answer was, 'Many firefighters may have post-traumatic stress disorder, even though they have not been diagnosed by a hospital.' The higher the rank and length of service, the higher the welfare status, and a statistically significant difference was confirmed (p(.01). In this study, the survey subjects were limited to some firefighters. We believe that these samples have limitations in generalizing the results of the study. However, the study is considered to be fruitful in that it identified the welfare status of some firefighters and confirmed their needs. I hope that the overall welfare of firefighters will be improved through periodic follow-up studies in the future.
