The fire that killed three firefighters in a building in Johannesburg was finally put out on Thursday evening.
The fire broke out in the morning on a skyscraper which houses several provincial government departments. It had been subdued that very evening, before it was finally calmed on Thursday morning.
The neighbouring cities of Tswane and Ekuruleni also sent in aid firefighters.
Eight firefighters were hospitalized for various injuries. Two others are still missing, and an investigation is underway to determine the cause of the fire.
