JAKARTA - Videos of firefighters breaking their fast while struggling to extinguish fires in buildings were shared on many social media.

A fire in the Samarinda Seberang settlement, East Kalimantan, occurred several days ago. But videos of officers on the roof of the building breaking their fast began to be shared on social media on Tuesday, April 20.

At that time the officers extinguished the fire on Jalan Pattimura, near SMP 8. The fire fighting process was still ongoing until it was time to break the fast.

The officers were fully clothed drinking water from the teapot brought from below. These firefighters share water with the same glass to the firefighters who are also struggling to extinguish the fire. From the video, black smoke still appears in the burning building.

"That's Samarinda. Opposite the incident last week," said the picket officer of the Samarinda Fire Department, David, confirmed by VOI.

Meanwhile, the fire today occurred at Jalan Cendana Gang IV, Samarinda. There was an electric short circuit but the officers managed to fix it with a fire engine.

Warganet praised the officers for maintaining optimal handling of fires while fasting.

"Long live for you good people, O Allah," said the owner of the Instragam account ayuuuel_

"May Allah repay all kindness," said the naritangriani account.

Netizens cheered the firefighters a lot. "Long live goodness," said the Wndasyhra account.
