R109 serving the public. Company 9 always at the ready to serve the citizens of Arlington County.
Rescue 109 removed three rings 💍 from Crystal City resident!
The rings had become stuck due to swelling, requiring firefighters to use specialized tools from the rescue company’s “Man vs. Machine” kit to safely remove them. This kit is one of many specialized pieces of equipment carried on rescue companies in Arlington County and is designed to help firefighters free people trapped or stuck in everyday objects.
Thankfully, the rings were successfully removed and the patient was able to get relief quickly.
