Background and Aim: Firefighting operations are among the most hazardous tasks that firefighters face, exposing them to constant risk. This study aims to identify key criteria and characteristics of operational forces to develop a pattern for arranging fire shifts, ultimately ensuring safer operations at the scene. Methods: In this study, the statistical population is 97 people who were selected using the all-number method in 2019 and 2020 in the Karaj Fire Department's Operation Area 3, taking into account ethical considerations. In responding to the research hypotheses, information was first collected, which used questions for this purpose, and after selecting experts, their ranking was done. Then, the operations were selected and the weight of each criterion was determined using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method and Choice Expert software, and by generalizing these scores to each function, the power of each shift and station was determined. Results: The criteria from the highest to the lowest include the decision-making power criterion with 25.9 percent, which is more important than other criteria. After that, the experience criterion with 20.4 percent is in second place. Also, other criteria, including the station chief's opinion 15.2 percent, stress management 10.5 percent, body mass index (BMI) 6.7 percent, training courses 6 percent, sports and operational test score 5.2 percent, aerobic exercise 4.3 percent, educational degree 3.2 percent, strength exercise 2.6 percent, with a description of the percentage in the arrangement of operational forces, are categorized in order from the most important to the least important. Conclusion: The study found that inadequate operational skills contribute to accidents in firefighting. The current shift assignment method is ineffective, as many forces are at similar levels. A new model is needed to improve firefighting teams' operational capacity and ensure safer rescue missions. Please cite this article as: Shafiei SM, Miri Lavasani SM, Nikoomaram H, Motahari Kia S.
