This study put the purpose to contribute in the way of complementing a qualification of the opened examination for the fire service to improvement of disposition and specialty of a firemen, and to development of a fire department. The subjects of the opened examination for the fire service are mostly same as those of general civil service examination, and they incite indiscreet competition. As a result, firemen morale became declining. On the basis of every kind of documents and data and the analysis of a questionnaire with students of the department of fire safety supervision, we should solve the problems of lack of qualification and professionality causing stress from work by the unit completion system, which qualifies those who complete prescribed unit in the opened examination for the fire service. It must promote the specialty of a fire fighter so that we can step up to the advanced fire department.
