Every job has some level of stress, but stress levels are skyrocketing when confronted with life-threatening burning buildings, full of super-heated gasses and throat-choking smoke.
However, physical pressure is not the main cause of illness and death among firefighters. The primary cause is the many stressful events they experience on an ongoing basis. All active firefighters witness and experience their share of horrible traumatic scenes. They’re expected to deal with it. The tragic thing about it is that it’s not mainly society that expects this from them but the firefighters themselves.
Over the years, the pictures of these traumatic experiences pile up in your subconscious and start to terrorize your health and control your behavior impulses. This will have a negative impact on both your performances and your relationships with the ones you love most, proven by the high divorce rate among firefighters. This will then intensify the already existing stress, often upward to a level at which they’re unable to function.
