Methods : A total of 369 questionnaires were distributed and 354 quest ionnaires were filled out and collected for analysis.Results : There was difference in turnover intention by general charac teristics. According to position, group of Fire lieutenant or more is lower than that of Fire sergeant or less (F=3.61, p=.014). The group of rescue & emergency service and administration was sign ificantly lower than other groups(F=4.84, p=.001). In pattern of duties, day service group was significant ly lower than shift work group in .05 level(t=2.59, p=.022).Finally, in the correlation, the more job satisfaction increase, the more turnover intention decrease that represents inverse correlation between job satisfaction an d turnover intention(r=-.523, p<.001). Namely, it represents the results that the higher job satisfact ion is low turnover intention.Conclusion : More studies of fire officer in other cities are required to generalize the results.
