Ten fire engines and around 70 firefighters were called to a grass fire on Chelsfield Lane in Orpington.
The fire was in a large stubble field and around 40 hectares of land and hedgerow was alight.
The Brigade's 999 Control Officers used 999Eye to live stream the fire 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 1143 and the fire was under control by 1412. Fire crews from Orpington, Sidcup, Bromley, Eltham, Plumstead, Biggin Hill and surrounding fire stations were at the scene.
