But now the London Fire Brigade is urging people to think before they start filming.

The fire was very visible yet we only received 15 calls, which is less than we would expect for a visible fire. Never make the assumption that someone else has called the emergency services. Your call could be the first and make a huge difference to the outcome of the incident.”

The decision to call the emergency services first, before you hit record, could quite literally save lives.
