A MARRIED woman needed firefighters help this morning (June 2) when her ring finger swelled up.
The woman went to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Woolwich, with her husband as her finger was swollen and they could not get her rings off.
After attempts by staff at the accident and emergency department failed to remove the wedding and engagement rings they called 999.
Firefighters arrived at around 4am and used specialist cutting equipment to get the rings off the woman’s finger.
The crew from Woolwich fire station was at the scene for around 15 minutes.
