fireman's carries
Shoulder-borne evacuations
Fireman's carries is the plural of fireman's carry, a method of lifting and transporting a person by draping them across one's shoulders.
The carrier holds the person's arm and leg on one side, leaving the other arm free.
It's used by emergency responders, military personnel, and in athletics: We practiced fireman's carries in training.
