Separately, Mayor Katie Wilson’s proposed 2027–28 budget would reduce Seattle Fire Department overtime funding by $7.06 million. The budget has not been described as an enacted cut, and the woman’s account has not been independently verified in the reporting available.
What the Seattle woman says happened
We Got This Covered attributes the account to TikTok creator Hellcat Hysteria. She says she had cardiac arrest, had no pulse, and that 13 Seattle firefighters took two-minute turns performing CPR for about an hour. Those details are her reported account as relayed by the outlet—not independently confirmed incident or medical records. We Got This Covered’s report describes her TikTok video.
The phrase “I died on Monday” is also reported as her wording in the video. It should be understood as a personal description of a reported cardiac-arrest emergency, not as an independently established medical finding.
What the proposed $7.06 million reduction covers
KIRO 7 reports that Mayor Katie Wilson’s proposed 2027–28 budget reduces Seattle Fire Department overtime by $7.06 million. The proposal concerns overtime funding; it is not reported as a final, enacted budget cut. The department’s budget language, as quoted by KIRO 7, says it would “decrease reliance on overtime staffing and implement planned unit outages as necessary, minimizing operational impact when possible.” KIRO 7’s budget report covers the proposal.

Why staffing and response times are disputed
KIRO 7 reports that Fire Chief Harold Scoggins and union president Kenny Stuart cited a possible change in daily minimum staffing from 222 firefighters to 209 in connection with the proposal. The union warns that lower staffing could lengthen response times. The department’s stated approach is to use planned unit outages and minimize operational impacts where possible. These are competing forecasts and mitigation plans, not proof of what response times will be if the proposal takes effect.
A separate We Got This Covered report gives figures of 67% of calls receiving a response within four minutes in 2025 and 74% in 2023. Those are secondary-reported figures; the underlying dataset was not located, and the report does not establish that the change was caused by the proposed budget reduction. They should not be read as a forecast of the effect of this proposal. The report containing the response-time figures does not tie them to the proposed cut.

What is known—and what remains unsettled
- The emergency: The CPR and cardiac-arrest details come from the woman’s account as relayed by a news outlet; independent incident verification was not located.
- The budget: The $7.06 million figure is a proposed reduction in Seattle Fire Department overtime funding for 2027–28, not a reported final decision.
- The staffing debate: The reported figures of 222 and 209 firefighters per day are cited by the fire chief and union president in connection with the proposal; the likely operational effects are contested.
- The next decision: The proposal’s consequences depend on the budget process and how the department manages staffing. The reporting cited here does not establish a final council decision or a measured response-time effect.
