At 19:35 on April 25, two men came to the gate of the Xishuangbanna Forest Fire Brigade to ask the firefighters for help. After understanding the situation, Chen Yunlong, a guard at the camp gate, learned that the metal ring that one of the men had worn the day before was suddenly jammed tightly for some reason, and he tried various methods, but he still could not remove the ring, and as time went by, the man's fingers became more and more swollen, and the pain became more and more intense, and he fell into a deep panic and helplessness.
After understanding the situation, Chen Yunlong gently comforted the man while bringing him into the camp, telling him not to be nervous. Subsequently, the firefighters carefully observed the situation of the stuck ring and first tried to remove the ring with soapy water lubrication, but due to the severe swelling of the finger. Repeated attempts failed to remove it. Subsequently, the firefighters tried to use the demolition pliers to dismantle it, but due to the large width and hard texture of the ring, the accuracy of the demolition pliers was not precise enough, and the firefighters were worried about causing secondary injuries to the injured, so they finally decided to use the angle grinder cutting method to dismantle.
Firefighters first protected the man's arm with gauze and fixed his fingers. In order to avoid scalding the fingers due to the heat generated during the grinding process, the firefighters constantly water to cool down during the grinding process. During the rescue process, the firefighters always paid attention to the man's feelings, constantly gave him encouragement, and made him feel cared for and supported.
Finally, after some efforts, the firefighters successfully removed the metal ring, and the man's finger was freed. Subsequently, firefighters applied medication to the man to reduce swelling and pain, and told him to seek medical attention promptly if he felt unwell.
Here, the firefighters remind the general public that when you find the ring stuck in your hand, please stay calm, do not pull it stiffly, and apply soapy water, oil or other lubricants to lubricate it before trying to remove it, so as to reduce the damage to the skin as much as possible. If none of the above methods work, please seek help from firefighters in time.
