Woman given 13% chance of survival saved by volunteer firefighters

Melanie Earley Reporter from Western Leader

Kia ora neighbours, a West Auckland woman who was given less than 15% chance of survival has met with volunteer firefighters who she says helped save her life.

Shortly after 3am on March 28, Laingholm resident Janene Gurnell, 50, collapsed in her home. Her partner immediately called 111 and the Laingholm volunteer fire brigade was the first to respond.

Gurnell said she had no memory of what happened that night, but was told by her partner that less than a minute after the firefighters arrived, she went into cardiac arrest and stopped breathing.

A Fire and Emergency NZ spokesperson said firefighters began CPR on Gurnell immediately and continued until paramedics arrived.
