Why would a firebrigrade carry a person in this instance

[Youwerewrong]

The person obviously wasn’t fully unconscious as they remember the fire officer a bit. No pyscially injuries and no disabilities

Maybe to get them out of the house if they are morbidly obese. A firefighter I knew (and the rest of the watch) regularly had to facilitate getting very fat people out of their beds and homes for things like hospital appointments

Why do you think OP?

Isn't the fire brigade the whole lot of them (as per title)?
Was this person in a medical situation (vague) carried by the whole fire brigade?!

Can I just say I have been thinking about the horror of this on and off for 2 hours 😭 your poor DH

in one remote community that i lived in the fire and ambulance service were combined and all ambulance crew were firemen.
now in a bigger city big enough that firemen (all trained as paramedics as well) respond equally to accidents, so not unusual to have police, fire and ambulance crews at a scene.

This has got to be the most boring and disappointing thread I've read. How can I stop notifications when someone posts. It's just pish.

She was awake enough that she saw his face when he was carrying her down surely they could have woken her to walk

You're going to need more context for a decent answer.

Was it you?
What are you concerned about?

But being overweight doesn’t mean people can’t walk

Maybe she is drip feeding information to you?

No it wasn’t it a something that happened to a friend but doesn’t ring true tbh

So your friend says she just woke up to find herself being carried by a Fire and Rescue crew member?

Are you suggesting that she is lying?

yep pretty much

And that was it. She just randomly upped and said that with no other detail. You said..... what?

It does sometimes mate. At least one bariatric call a day in our region.

I'm just telling you the possible reasons a fireman might be needed to lift someone out of a building, not my fault you only provided vague information with no context. Excuse me for trying to be helpful.

Sorry thank you the person I’m talking about is overweight but is normally able to walk herself

No she said she felt medically unwell and was possibly unconscious at point

If she was unconscious/semi conscious and in need of getting to an ambulance, the fire service may have been called by the ambulance service to help get her out safely. It's not uncommon at all, it's actually one of the most common callouts we get aside from fire and smoke alarms going off. They don't have the equipment in a normal ambo wagon to extricate people in some circumstances, firemen do. I literally dispatch firemen to calls like this every day, it's not unusual at all.

Look, either explain properly what your friend said, and why you don’t believe her, or bugger off because frankly this is the most pointless thread I’ve read in weeks.

Ask the ‘fire brigade’ they’ll know…

You can't just 'wake' an unconscious person to walk, there's a huge risk of them going down again and further injuring themselves.

But if someone was looking at the person then they are awake now

What in the world..
