Firefighters were forced to cut a ring off a woman's finger yesterday.

The unusual request happened at Canvey fire station yesterday.

Canvey firefighter Andy Bicknell said: "This tends to happen five or six times a year as we are closer than the A and E department and we have ringcutters, and can do it straight away."
