*Before anyone thinks otherwise, no I'm not a fireman! Just an ordinary man*
I want to be able to lift my woman in a fireman's carry but I fear I have not the strength yet (She is a bit on the heavy side but still good looking so shut up! :-D ;-) ) . What muscles do I need to develop and what exercises do I need to do to develop these muscles properly?
Serious replies please!

You should focus on strengthening your core, back, shoulders, and legs at the same time. Do more exercises like squats, deadlifts, lunges, and farmer's carries can help build overall strength. And one thing, if you want to build specific muscles used in the fireman's carry, try exercises such as shoulder presses, rows, and kettlebell swings.

My son's football team in high school did those as part of their GPP exercises in the summer. The exercises they used to prepare were the normal ones you would have in any football lifting program; aka WS4SB program. So squats, deadlifts, rows, OHP, suitcase carries, hang cleans, power cleans, BP, grip work, etc. My son was 275 (D-Line) and his partner for these was 330 (O-line, played D1). Fun watching them do fireman carries and run for 50 yards with their partner on their back.

I used to lift up my German Shepherd kutta when I was 12-14 years old. It's the same movement. You can substitute a mutton.
Hey, do you know why farmers wear those tall rubber boots? It's so sheep can't get their legs out.Current rankings

You could get a sack of fruit or vegetables such as potatoes, carry that over your shoulders to practice. That way, you can take items out to dropset, or if you need less weight to start with in order to progress up over time.
