This research attempted to identify the aspects of psychological on the job stress,
its causation, its effect on job performance, and any effects stress might have on
wellness and general well being. Also this research will explore stress reduction
techniques and their effectiveness. Unmanaged firefighter stress is the problem, or
more specifically recognizing the signs and symptoms and taking appropriate
action. “ Wellness in the fire service will, in great measure, involve the control,
defusing, and management of firefighter stress reactions. Stress management
technology is based upon an understanding of the stress response.” ( Lawrence N.
Blum, PhD., Stress and survival in the fire service, pg3)
