Which description matches the Fireman carry method?

• A. The casualty is carried in a prone position over the shoulder
• B. Chest to chest hug and drag
• C. Casualty is carried on the rescuer's back with legs dangling
• D. The casualty is supported by the belt

Answer: (B)

The Fireman carry is about securing the casualty close to your body and using a firm hold around their upper body to control and move them safely. This description fits best when you describe wrapping the casualty in a chest-to-chest hug and then dragging them forward. Keeping the casualty pressed against your chest provides stability, distributes the weight more evenly, and allows you to maneuver them with a controlled grip, which is the essence of this method. The other ways described—carrying over the shoulder, back carrying with legs dangling, or supporting by a belt—depict different techniques and orientations, not the chest-close hug and drag approach.
