00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:53,500
The figure four drag is a very secure way to drag victims short distances and keep

2
00:00:53,500 --> 00:00:59,100
them low out of the smoke. It works well regardless of whether the victim is

3
00:00:59,100 --> 00:01:04,579
wearing clothes or not and no matter how slippery the victim is. To perform this drag, reach

4
00:01:04,579 --> 00:01:10,079
under one or two of the victim's limbs, grab your opposite arm, and then put that hand

5
00:01:10,079 --> 00:01:16,939
on the victim's limb. Now drag. If the atmosphere allows you to stand up and lift the victim,

6
00:01:16,939 --> 00:01:21,019
this is one of the fastest ways to remove a victim from the fire building. To perform

7
00:01:21,019 --> 00:01:25,159
this carry, sit the victim up and one of the rescuers reaches underneath his armpits and

8
00:01:25,159 --> 00:01:29,959
grabs his wrist. The other rescuer crosses his legs and lifts them onto his shoulder

9
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,840
while turning like lifting a ground ladder. Now you can quickly and safely exit the fire

10
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:39,659
building and navigate any stairs or obstacles you need to while both of the rescuers face

11
00:01:39,659 --> 00:01:46,019
forward. Additionally, the rescuer in front has one hand free for the tick or tools.

12
00:01:46,019 --> 00:01:50,500
The fast draft is one of the best ways to remove victims from fire buildings while keeping

13
00:01:50,500 --> 00:01:56,180
them low out of the smoke. To perform this drag, get the victim on their back. Now pull

14
00:01:56,180 --> 00:02:01,859
out your webbing loop and anchor it to the ground with your knee. Now you can grab one

15
00:02:01,859 --> 00:02:07,060
of the victim's arms and drop it through the loop. Then grab the other arm and drop that

16
00:02:07,060 --> 00:02:13,400
through the loop. Now reach through the loop from bottom to top and grab the strap that

17
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,199
you've pinned to the ground with your knee. Now girth hitch it underneath the victim's

18
00:02:17,199 --> 00:02:19,800
head and drag.

19
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:25,259
As you can see in this video, when two rescuers perform this drag, the secondary rescuer clips

20
00:02:25,259 --> 00:02:28,039
his webbing loop onto the fast strap.

21
00:02:28,039 --> 00:02:34,060
Now both rescuers have one hand free and can exit the building quickly.

22
00:02:34,060 --> 00:02:37,479
Use the L-carry if you foresee the need to lift the victim.

23
00:02:37,479 --> 00:02:40,759
Carry the victim up or down stairs or take the victim out of a window.

24
00:02:40,759 --> 00:02:43,479
Have two hose straps connected together for this.

25
00:02:43,479 --> 00:02:47,240
Get the victim on their back, cross their arms, cross their chest, and pin them there

26
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:48,539
with your knee.

27
00:02:48,539 --> 00:02:51,919
Then loop the victim's nearest leg with your hose strap.

28
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:56,139
Cross the strap across the victim's chest in an L, and then sit the victim up with your

29
00:02:56,139 --> 00:02:58,780
fists without letting go of the hose strap.

30
00:02:58,780 --> 00:03:03,300
Now you can hitch the straps together using the six hitch behind the victim's back, and

31
00:03:03,300 --> 00:03:22,610
you're ready to drag or carry.

32
00:03:22,610 --> 00:03:26,689
A fireman's carry is an excellent way to remove a victim if the atmosphere allows it.

33
00:03:26,689 --> 00:03:30,169
Both rescuers have to work in tandem as a team to get this done.

34
00:03:30,530 --> 00:03:32,330
Get the victim's heels to his butt.

35
00:03:32,610 --> 00:03:33,789
Get the victim sitting up.

36
00:03:33,870 --> 00:03:36,430
Now you both lift, and one of you holds the victim.

37
00:03:36,990 --> 00:03:39,669
First lift is onto the back rescuer's knee.

38
00:03:40,229 --> 00:03:41,310
Then reposition.

39
00:03:41,590 --> 00:03:43,770
Second lift is into the standing position.

40
00:03:43,770 --> 00:03:49,509
The back rescuer holds him, and the front rescuer gets underneath, hooks one arm and one leg.

41
00:03:50,009 --> 00:03:54,210
When he's in position, both of the rescuers lift him into the front rescuer's shoulders.

42
00:03:54,689 --> 00:03:56,210
Now you're ready to exit the building.

43
00:03:56,689 --> 00:04:06,750
To perform the fireman's carry by yourself, get the victim prone with their feet facing

44
00:04:06,750 --> 00:04:07,750
a wall.

45
00:04:07,750 --> 00:04:12,830
Now, slide the victim back until their feet touch the wall and fold them back on their

46
00:04:12,830 --> 00:04:13,830
knees.

47
00:04:13,830 --> 00:04:17,910
Hold them in this position while you walk around, then sit the victim up.

48
00:04:17,910 --> 00:04:23,649
Now, reach around the victim's armpits and stand up and press the victim up against the

49
00:04:23,649 --> 00:04:24,649
wall.

50
00:04:24,649 --> 00:04:33,290
Now pin the victim's knee locked against the wall while you drop down with one arm, one leg, and stand up and exit the building.
