Objective: Verify the prevalence of osteomioarticular symptoms in military firefighters in the Federal District. Method: This is a cross-sectional study with military firefighters aged between 18 and 55 years. The Nordic Osteomuscular Symptoms Questionnaire was used and the participants reported the occurrence of symptoms in the 12 months and seven days preceding the interview, as well as the withdrawal of the activities in the last year. The data were tabulated in the Microsoft Excel 2016 program and the descriptive statistics were made. Results: Of the 178 firefighters involved, 89% were males, with a mean age of 39 years and a mean body mass index of 25.93. The regions with the highest prevalence were the lumbar region (20.90%), followed by the knees (14.24%) and the dorsal region (12.26%) in the last 12 months and the lumbar region (20.35%), followed by knees (16.48%) and shoulders (11.97%) in the last seven days. Conclusion: There was a higher prevalence of osteomioarticular symptoms in the lumbar region, knees and dorsal region for chronic changes, and a higher prevalence of symptoms in the lower back, knees and shoulders for acute changes. The firefighters pointed as causes of force, fatigue and /or tiredness, postures maintained for a long period of time, sudden movements and repetitive movements.
