Savannah firefighter Trevor Jaha performed CPR for 30 minutes and used a defibrillator five times to eventually get a pulse while pilots made an emergency landing Sept. 14, Savannah Fire Rescue said.
The woman, identified only as Chelsea, was taken to a hospital, where she is recovering. She has regained the ability to walk and talk and has no signs of brain damage, officials said.
"She is my sister, and he saved her. I can't thank him enough, and I just wanted to make people aware, he's a hero," her brother told fire officials.
