The profile of preferred coping strategies in firefighters and rescuers was studied (depending on the length of professional experience). The survey involved 235 male fire and rescue workers aged 25 to 45 years, who were divided into three groups (1–6, 7–15 and 16–22 years of service). Using the personal questionnaire SACS (S. Hobfoll), preferences in choosing coping strategies were studied. It was found that the majority of firefighters and rescuers have prosocial and active strategies as priorities. Negative phenomena in overcoming stress and the proportion of people with passive behavior patterns were found to increase with increasing service life.
