Firefighters completed a questionnaire which examined both positive and negative reactions following major call‐outs. Positive reactions were more frequently checked than negative ones. Factor analysis of positive reactions resulted in four factors, suggesting that positive reactions after a call‐out represented more than an increased sense of general wellbeing. The type of reactions reported were related to the type of incident attended. Differences in reaction patterns were related to self‐reported coping style and age of the firefighters
