Firefighters face a wide array of physical and mental stress while performing the necessary tasks involved in emergency occupations. As a result, cardiovascular death accounts for close to half of all deaths that occur while on-duty. Most stressors faced by firefighters are difficult to control and rely heavily on the physical preparedness and the psychological perceptions of the individual to withstand and manage these imposed demands. The interaction between the psychological and physiological response is something that could provide a better insight into firefighting, and possibly allow necessary interventions to take place to lower the increasing cardiovascular conditions that occur. A number of examinations were completed to analyze the psychological demands imposed on firefighters during simulated tasks and the possible interaction between the perceptions of stress and physiological outcomes, heart rate, systolic blood pressure and body temperature. Based on the results of these investigations it was concluded that: (1) the anxiety levels that a firefighter reaches before entering a stressful simulation will be maintained throughout the simulation and will only decrease upon removal from the stressful environment; (2) individuals that possess high levels of trait anxiety are at a greater risk of increased psychological and physiological response than low trait anxiety individuals; and (3) there is an interaction between fitness, anxiety, and firefighter skill ability.
