But they say one thing keeps them going: the people they protect. “We don’t feel tired when we know that what we do is helping people,” says Rahmat Hadi Wijaya, who has fought wildfires for 20 years. #indonesia #indonesianews (Video: CNA/Wisnu Agung Prasetyo, Nivell Rayda) Subscribe to our channel here: https://cna.asia/youtubesub Visit our website: https://cna.asia Download our app: https://cna.asia/app Get our editors' picks of stories via chat apps: Telegram: https://cna.asia/telegram WhatsApp: https://cna.asia/whatsapp Follow us on these platforms: https://www.facebook.com/channelnewsasia https://www.instagram.com/channelnewsasia https://www.tiktok.com/@channelnewsasia
