Firefighters tackled a blaze on the ground floor of a three storey semi-detached house, a significant amount of the ground floor was damaged by the fire. There were no injuries reported. The Brigade’s Control Officers were able to use 999Eye to live stream the fire from a smartphone to screens in the Control Office allowing for greater visibility of the fire. When a 999 call is received by the Brigade, the caller may be asked if they would like to provide a live video stream of the scene using their smartphone. The Control Officer will send a text message with a secure, one-time-use link that opens a live stream direct from the phone to the Control room. 999Eye provides better situational awareness and allows us to offer the best advice based on live footage. The Brigade was called at 10.43pm and the fire was under control by 11.42pm. Fire crews from Heathrow, Feltham, and Heston fire stations attended the scene. The cause of the fire will be investigated.
