One patrol, playing the role of the “fainted,” lies down in a row. At a distance of 50 metres from them, the second patrol (the “firefighters”) sets off at a given signal. Each of them carries a rope, which they must quickly place around the fainted person and drag them back (in the manner used in smoke-filled spaces). Then, the roles of the two patrols are swapped. The patrol that spends less time wins; the time is counted from the moment the firefighters set off until the return of the last one. Strict rules apply regarding knots, placing a jacket under the patient’s head, crawling on all fours, and so on.
