Rival fire brigades who turned up to tackle the same blaze started fighting over who should put it out - before police turned up and joined in the brawl.

The conflict unfolded when firemen from Mexico's Heroic Fire Department and Ceda Fire Department were dispatched to deal with the brush fire in the capital Mexico City.

But tempers frayed when both sides disagreed over who should deal with the situation and a fight broke out. And then the police arrived.

The police were trying to separate the two groups when they came under attack from the firemen who started punching them, and then more policemen who turned up to stop the fighting were also attacked.
