MIRI: Firemen from Lopeng Fire Station had to resort to creative means to assist doctors on duty at the hospital here, when they were called in to cut off a ring stuck on a 72-year-old woman’s right finger.
Five firemen led by senior fire officer (PBK II) Henry Jugah were mobilised to the hospital yesterday afternoon after receiving a distress call at the station.
It took them less than a minute to remove the ring from the woman’s finger.
