Having been on a volunteer lifesaving crew for several years, I would have appreciated any and all help I could get when it comes to lifting and carrying a patient. More personnel are always helpful. Many times there were only 2 or 3 people on a call. Too often there was only 1 and then you really had to call for help. The fire department was paid and we were all volunteers. No assistance from them. I'm glad the times have changed in that respect.
