We assume that introduction of the special program that includes active social and psychological methods and pays attention to the peculiarities of fire-fighters-rescuers’ work of at the initial stage of training will contribute to formation of high psychological readiness of the employees of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine for professional work in extreme conditions. The article describes personal traits of fire-fighters-rescuers that determine their readiness to work at extreme situations. The psychological portrait of future fire-fighters-rescuers at the initial stage of training is generalized; it determines the structure of psychological readiness: its moral, will, communicative, motivational components.
