FIREFIGHTERS in the West Midlands had to be called out an incredible 51 times to winch fat people out of their homes to waiting ambulances.
Paramedics were forced to ask their 999 colleagues for help because they were unable to lift the obese patients.
Over the last three years, firefighters helped ambulance crews move severely overweight people 51 times, utilising heavy lifting equipment normally used to deal with serious car crashes.
