This study seeks to expand the area of fire safety services to the public by establishing a firefighting colleague psychological support system for firefighters and a disaster psychological support system for the public. we examined the National Fire Agency's mental health support policy and the status of PTSD(posttraumatic stress disorder) management among domestic and foreign firefighters. In addition, as a result of analyzing the effectiveness of the firefighting colleague counseling and the operation cases of the Central Firefighting Psychological Support Group, it was confirmed that it has a positive effect on the mental health management of firefighters. In order for the Central Fire Protection Psychological Support Group to develop into a focal point for not only the mental health of firefighters but also the mental health of disaster victims, it is necessary to establish a legal basis and to reorganize the systematic organization and budget. Additionally, programs to foster internal experts are desperately needed. The results of this study are intended to contribute to boosting firefighting morale and expanding the scope of firefighting activities by discovering disaster psychological support policies for firefighters.
