Quote:When you think you've seen it all, they throw something like this at you. Even though it was minor, what a neat call and good work on the Portland brothers for getting it done. I will store this one in the memory file in the event I respond to something similar, as I would never have thought about an elastic.
There is a video showing how to remove a ring using the same method. A Google search should find it.
And that was just the end of a crazy day. Around 2PM Sta 7 had a confined space rescue. A lady had fallen into the crawl space under her kitchen, covered by a trap door. It was about an 8 foot fall. She had a possible broken leg and the opening was very small - about 2 feet by 2 feet. Somehow they got a stair chair from the ambulance down there and got her on it for the removal, just as the special confined space rescue crew showed up. Of course, I was out of town.
