from the YT description

" The Brigade's 999 Control Officers used 999Eye to live stream the
blaze from a smart phone to screens in the Control Room, allowing for
greater visibility of the incident. 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 0624 and the fire was
under control by 0729. Fire crews from Addington, Tooting, Purley,
Forest Hill and Bromley fire stations attended the scene. The cause of
the fire is under investigation."
