Job Satisfaction of Volunteer Firefighters in Daejeon

Volunteer firefighters receive regular education or training to allow them to provide a suitable response in case of disasters such as social disasters. However, volunteer firefighters are limited to assisting the work of firefighters but are not involved in active duty. Therefore, this study examines the current status of volunteer firefighters and conducts and analyzes satisfaction surveys through questionnaires. Volunteer firefighters undergo regular education and training. Because they have long-term residence in the region as well as expertise, their services should be actively utilized in the field of disaster prevention and response. Moreover, because the satisfaction level of the convocation allowance is low, it is necessary to make the recruitment allowance realistic. The ratio of personnel working in firefighting and technology-related fields is low; thus, it is necessary to expand and allocate practical firefighting-related subjects during education and training. Through this, it is judged that the satisfaction of volunteer firefighters can be increased and the organization can be actively utilized in the case of a disaster to provide more help to the country and the people.
