Norfolk Fire are Rescue Service were called to Colney this morning to remove a ring from a woman’s finger.
A crew from Earlham were called to the Spire Hospital, in Watton Road, just after 10.20am, because medical reasons had caused the woman’s fingers to swell.
The crew used a ring cutter to free the woman’s finger, taking around 15 minutes to successfully cut the ring off.

One would think that a hospital would keep a ring cutter for this purpose and have enough people trained to use it. Hardly a job for calling out the fire brigade.

It's hard to believe that amongst all the expertise at Spire there is not someone there with the sense to remove the ring prior to treatment or the capabilities of cutting a ring off if this swelling was unforeseen.

Isn`t the Spire clinic a private hospital? If so, I hope they billed Norfolk fire service for the call out. If she had been at the N&N the staff would have removed it.

Well let's hope no-one perished in a fire because the fire service were called out to this triviality.
