2nd Alarm: Multiple Rescues
30 July 2015
Breaking upstairs windows alerted neighbours of this morning's fire in Remuera
Fire crews rescued 4 occupants in a blazing Remuera flat earlier today... one woman was immediately resuscitated by firefighters at the scene before being taken to hospital in critical condition. Two others found in burning first-floor rooms were also taken to hospital. Fire Officers say they found the woman who wasn't breathing in the upstairs bathroom where, they surmise, she went to try to shelter from the fire or mistook her way out in the thick black smoke. Members closed Rotomahana Terrace, blocked by emergency vehicles, lit the exterior of the building and performed fireground assistance.
