"The floodwaters are now gradually receding. At 3:30 PM, the remaining water level was about five centimeters," he added.
Meanwhile, Head of Kramat Jati Fire Handling and Rescue Sector, Parlin Nainggolan said his side also deployed one mobile pump and one portable pump, as well as six personnel.
"The height of the puddle is less than one meter, so we don't use a quick response pump," he said.
Moreover, Head of RT 03/15 of Cililitan Urban Village, Fahrizal admitted the inundation on residential and Jalan Raya Bogor occurred at 9:30 AM during the heavy rain.
