Description
Pauline Georgees Poless and colleagues pilot a study of thoughts and feelings in firefighters under stress in 2026. Fire work brings repeated danger and strain, yet inner coping during calls is rarely mapped. The team used therapy-style interviews to draw out those inner steps.
Seventy-eight firefighters took part and also filled a standard emotion questionnaire. Fire accidents ranked as the most stressful calls, and mixed emotions were common. Saving people stood out as the top drive during hard moments. Most firefighters saw their own thoughts and feelings as helpful, not as blocks. Reframing a situation was the favored calming habit, while pushing feelings down faded with age.
