This image of exhausted fire fighters catching a short break in between battling the blaze at Grenfell Tower has gone viral, as the British public praise emergency services for their mammoth efforts.
Fire fighters were called to Grenfell Tower in Shepherd’s Bush at 12.54am early on Wednesday morning. In under six minutes, the first fire engines arrived on the scene and the brave men and women within haven’t stopped trying to save lives and quash the flames since.
Despite some naysayers on social media, who have been spreading lies about the confirmed response time, the fire fighters deployed have toiled through the night and day.
More than 200 firefighters and officers attended the fire with 40 fire engines and a range of specialist vehicles being dispatched to get the fire under control.
