This morning, our crew attended a medical emergency, alongside our colleagues at Wellington Free Ambulance and Porirua Fire Brigade.
The incident occurred in a very public place, and we would like to acknowledge the wonderful members of our community - including GoodSAM responders and staff from Kemp Home and Hospital - who stepped in when it mattered. They called 111, started CPR and went to retrieve an AED. Their quick actions ensured everything possible was done before emergency services arrived.
We are fortunate to have several AEDs around Titahi Bay, including two 24/7 publicly accessible defibrillators:
📍 Outside the hall at Ngāti Toa School
📍 Onepoto Park, on the corner of Onepoto Road and Main Road
