This cross sectional study includes 155 male firefighters whom had selected randomly. In this research we used Leiden University Questionnaire. Also Karasek Questionnaire is used for classification of workers according to karasek’s model. Collected data were analyzed by spss9 software. The final grade of firefighter’s JOB STRESS shows a significant positive relationship with second job and a significant negative relationship with age. The level of job satisfaction have a significant negative relationship with job insecurity and lack of meaningfulness, and a significant positive relationship with skill discretion, social support supervisor and social support co-workers. According to KARASEK CLASSIFICATION this job is grouped in active not in high strain grup. The highest level of JOB STRESS was seen in physical exertion and hazardous exposure factors. Also in work and time pressure factor, JOB STRESS level is high. But JOB STRESS is in a moderate or low level in other factors.
