2 MAN PUSH / PULL

 

Prepare the victim the same as the one-man drag:

  1. Roll FF over.

  2. Check for airflow.

  3. Silence the PASS.

  4. Call for mayday.

  5. Tighten SCBA straps.

  • Rescuer 1 grabs the SCBA high side harness strap as in one-man drag.

  • The second rescuer moves to the victims’ legs.

  • Working from the same side as rescuer 1, raise the victims’ high side leg and place the knee over the rescuers’shoulder.

  • Stay on the outside of victim:

  1. The lower rescuer needs to have his head against the outside of the thigh.

  • Reach with inside hand, go through the legs, and grab the victims’ chest or grab his arm and hold to victims’ chest.

  • Rear rescuer with victims’ leg over his inside shoulder, drops as low as possible and pushes with force directed at the victims’ thigh:

  1. The push is like pushing on a blocking dummy.

  2. If the second rescuer allows the force to ride up to high he will start to roll the victim over.

  • Stay in line:

  1. The advantage to the push/pull. Is its width is only that of 2 rescuers.

When both rescuers are in position…ready / ready / go.
