The forestry operations in our country consist of fertilizing, woodworking and erosion control, wood raw materials production activities, road construction activities, forest protection and forest maintenance. To improve the work performance of workers working in forestry operations, the current situation must be identified by scientific data and methods. Fire workers fighting forest fires are at risk in terms of working conditions, health problems and work safety.  Despite the work accidents and health problems in the fight against fire work, there are not enough statistical data about these issues. In this study, the working conditions of forest fire workers were studied and the survey was conducted to identify the main health and safety problems at work. In the surveys, information was asked about the safety and health of forest fire workers, professional satisfaction, accumulative fatigue signs. The survey was carried out on a total of 114 fire workers in Adana, Edremit and Saimbeyli Forest Business Directorate. A number of statistical analyses are also applied to the data obtained. The study found that the majority of the workers involved in the survey were men, and the majority were experienced and healthy individuals. The study found that workers did not wear heat-resistant protective clothes and equipment. They also pointed out that the low percentage of workers (18.6) are not satisfied with their wages and that their close work is dangerous and strong.
