Five fire-departments with total of 240 male participants were included in research.

The total number of participants who fulfilled the criteria for PTSD reached 8.4%. Most often, the participants prefered problem oriented coping strategies, while the support of family and colleagues was emphesized as the most important in coping with stress. Obtained results point out to the necessity for psychological support after major firefighting interventions.
