Why would a firebrigrade carry a person in this instance

I just had a look, and @Youwerewrong has failed to say what "in this instance"
refers to, so the question is pointless.

No. There is space between full consciousness and full unconsciousness. She may have been able to see him, but unable to safely respond to requests to relocate to an area where medical personnel could assess her. If, for example, she was collapsed in the toilet, she may need to be relocated to a sofa so paramedics can assess her condition. Waiting for her to be roused to the point where she can get herself there wastes the time of all the emergency responders.

Also, if she woke up while a firefighter was carrying her, then she was unconscious when he picked her up. He isn't going to put her down immediately the second she wakes.

“Consciousness” isn’t simply awake or not awake. It’s a scale. The Glasgow Coma scale (GCS) is used to establish consciousness and it ranges from a score of 3-15 based on motor, eye and vocal response. Especially anything below 15 is abnormal. Someone can appear “awake” and may have some memory recall of events but still have an altered mental state. Really it’s difficult to say without more information but presumably the person was altered enough that their co operation wasn’t guaranteed and it was a time critical event and was deemed they had to be moved quickly for their own safety and those around them.

Presumably ,if your friend is large ,then the firefighter wasn't carrying her as a treat to himself. He did it because in his professional opinion it was the right thing to do, got her the help she needed more quickly and prevented her falling again and injuring herself further.

My neighbour had a mental breakdown in his home last Christmas and an ambulance, a police car and a fire engine all turned up. A number of firefighters entered the property even though there was no fire.

Another neighbour…her mother collapsed and was unconscious during a visit. A fire service van turned up, firefighters got out, entered the property, and they carried her out on what looked like some of kind inflatable device.

You are assuming your friend is lying but it is very possible she’s telling the truth as the fire service do a lot of illness related emergency work.

So she was unconscious, a firefighter moved her, she woke while being carried and the question is why they didn't immediately plonk her down at that moment and tell her to walk?

YABR (You are being ridiculous)! Loads of people can have their eyes open but not be properly with it and/or able to walk. Have you ever had flu? You feel so ill you can’t get out of bed? So, do you keep your eyes closed the whole time?? Or do you lie in bed feeling too weak to move and occasionally open your eyes?

It’s such a stupid assumption (eyes open=able to walk). What if you broke both your legs? Your eyes would be open so you’d be perfectly able to trot to the ambulance, yes? 🙄

If your friend is very overweight then the fire service might have been called to remove her from the building. It’s hardly weird so I have no idea why you’re fussing about it!

Should they have left them in the fire! What a stupid question

I think if a friend told me this I’d be suspicious as well to be honest. Unless there’s a threat to life, so fire, flood, getting carried away from a car accident I can’t see it’s true. If a person was medically unwell and the fire brigade turned up first they’d stay with them until the paramedics arrived, maybe recovery position, etc. but they wouldn’t be carried from a safe place if they were in a safe place.

OP, does your friend have form for a fantasy life? General embellishment?

Considering what a hotbed of sexism, misogyny, racism and homophobia the fire service is well known to be, I suspect there is rather more to the case than this

Sorry you cant say "firemen" anymore. Its Firefighter.
One long serving firefighter didnt obey the rules and was fired (,no pun intended)
His "victim" received a 52 grand bonanza payout courtesy of the tax payer

I've not read a thread this strange for a while

Thought we might have had more sense from the OP this far into thread 😆

Please please put us all out of our misery. What exactly is your issue with this??? No one can make any sense of the circumstances you drip feed through!

It’s like on the maternity ward where they insist you don’t walk around with your newborn in case you faint (or at least that’s my assumption as to why)

@Youwerewrong read your username.

Do you really imagine that a member of the fire brigade carrying an unconscious patient simply drops them to the ground the second they start to come round and open their eyes? Because after all if they’re awake they can walk themselves, right?

if she can sue

Ditto.
I've read some crap on here but wth is this about?

Was an ambulance also in attendance

Well presumably it was because of a medical issue.
Do you imagine the fire officer was being nasty? Trying to rape her? Any other absurd reason?

Deleted as posted twice.

OP you are allowed to write more than one sentence in each post. In fact it’s positively helpful and enables you to describe the scenario fully and clarify what your doubts or questions are. Then responders are able to be more helpful.

Occasionally, ambulance control will request assistance from the fire service if there’s no ambulances available to attend an emergency. Fire trucks and cars all carry O2 and are first aid trained too.

it enormously comforting to have someone else articulate your own position this well.

So you have started a thread with scant detail about an incident your friend described because you don't believe her and want to prove her wrong. And when people give lots of helpful answers saying how and why this might have happened you disagree with them. Seriously? Why? Why don't you believe her? You sound very immature.
