IRPC Supplies the Used Fuel Tanks to Support the Royal Forest Mission under the Project of “Shared Tank to Extinguish Wildfires”
Mr. Adisorn Nuchdamrong, Director-General of the Royal Forest Department accepted 318 used fuel tanks of 200 Liters from Miss Arisara Suthasut, Executive Vice President, Office of Corporate Affairs, IRPC Public Company Limited under the “Shared Tank to Extinguish Wildfires” Project. The tanks would be used for the mission of the Wildfire Control Division including reserved water source in risky highland areas especially when it came to drought.
One of the guidelines to prevent the spread of wildfires was the invention of fire resistance by using the used fuel tanks to reserve rainfall water. Therefore, it could reduce the risk of explosion or rotation of burning sticks and stumps.
IRPC recognized the most important mission of the Royal Forest Department to protect the forests. The company run the business while making the best use of the available resources and taking care of the community, society, and the environment sustainably.
Thereby, to support a special fire control operation by Fire Falcon under the Bureau of Forest Protection and Fire Control, Ministry of Resources and Nature, IRPC offered their used fuel tanks to help mitigate the wildfires issue. The wildfires were considered to be the country’s most vital issue that created damages to the forest, wild animals, community and global warming issue.
As a result, it marked the disaster that affected people around the world due to the abundance of greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere. At the same time, global warming was one of the factors that caused wildfires by increasing the temperature and dryness. If wildfires are prevented, the forests, natural resources, ecological environment, and weather atmosphere will be protected and global warming is alleviated as well.
