This fire department has a blunt message for people filming at emergencies

Whenever a fire breaks out, the odds are there will be footage posted on social media almost immediately.

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

"We're urging people to #Call999BeforeYouFilm," they wrote in a recent tweet. "If you see no fire engines at the scene, never assume someone else has called the emergency services. Any delay in calling 999 could have devastating consequences."
