In the video, Kwok says "I hope I survive .. This is not good right now. This is a bit of a situation. Oh my god, I can’t breathe. F*ck bye.”

Needless to say, emergency services were less than impressed. According to 9 News, NSW Rural Fire Service Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons responded to the video by saying "Use some common sense. If you come across a bush fire, you should be thinking about your safety, not selfies."

Some comments on Kwok's Instagram account were less polite, but Kwok himself was quick to explain that he arrived on the scene before emergency services. Reportedly, it was hewho let them know where the fire was via his Instagram location.
