fireman's carry
Shoulder rescue hold
A fireman's carry is a method of transporting an injured or unconscious person by draping them across the shoulders.
The carrier supports the person's weight by holding one arm and one leg, leaving the other arm free: He hoisted her up in a fireman's carry and headed for the exit.
The technique originated with firefighters rescuing people from burning buildings.
