Firemen rescue sick 100kg man trapped in his own house

When you’re too heavy and sick and can’t move, who ya gonna call?

The Fire and Rescue Department received a distress call from a Kajang Hospital ambulance after they had difficulties carrying a sick man weighing more than 100kg.

According to a news report by The Star Online, 31-year-old Zaharin Shah Sharif had to be rushed to the hospital after experiencing breathing difficulties and unstable blood pressure.

The only problem? He was too heavy to be moved.

Officer-in-charge of Kajang Fire and Rescue Station Faizad Amirul Abdul Razak told The Star that the station received the call at about 11.42am after emergency personnel faced a problem bringing the man down from the first floor of his double-storey terrace house in Taman Seri Cheras.

In the end, Faizad said it took 15 minutes, eight firemen and five members of the public to move the man into the ambulance. 

Great teamwork, guys.
