Hundreds of firefighters risked their lives to extinguish the fire that gutted the main building of the Attorney General\'s Office (AGO) in South Jakarta on Saturday (22/8/2020).

The firefighting efforts were strenuous because of the large conflagration and the limited supply of water. After 11 hours of fighting the dangerous flames and thick smoke, the firefighters were finally able to extinguish the fire.
