The world watched in horror this week as a 24-story apartment tower in London was engulfed in flames.
The fire started at night, which meant nearly all the residents were in their apartments, and in mortal danger.
And that meant London firefighters were in for the battle of their lives.
One of those firefighters tweeted just before rushing into the inferno.
His post has since gone viral, and for good reason:
