Flames engulfed the Attorney General’s Office (AGO) building on Jl. Sultan Hasanudin Dalam in South Jakarta on Saturday evening.
Kompas.com reported that the fire broke out on the sixth floor of the building. By 10 p.m. on Saturday, it had spread to the third floor.
AGO spokesperson Hari Setiyono said the office of the assistant attorney general for intelligence and the human resources department had experienced the majority of the damage from the blaze.
He said the fire would not destroy important data or documents.
“We have a backup for data and documents on employment,” Hari said on Saturday, as quoted by kompas.com.
The Jakarta Fire and Rescue Agency dispatched 23 fire engines and 120 firefighters to extinguish the blaze.
In response to the fire, authorities diverted traffic on Jl. Bulungan. (kuk)
