The student, identified as N.H.K., had placed several metal rings on his finger during an activity, only to find himself unable to remove them. The rings tightened, causing concern for his circulation and the risk of injury. After initial attempts at the Quang Nam Central General Hospital proved unsuccessful due to the hardness of the material and the tightness of the rings, the family sought the specialized assistance of the local fire department.

Local authorities are using this incident to reiterate advice against children wearing metal items like rings or tubes without supervision. The message is clear: such items can easily become stuck, impede circulation, and cause injury. In emergencies, it is always best to seek professional help from medical facilities or emergency services rather than attempting risky self-removal with crude tools. The successful resolution in Da Nang is a testament to the vital role our PCCC forces play in everyday life, extending far beyond traditional firefighting.
