Nissan’s support for fighting forest fires continues for the 4th consecutive year

CHIANGMAI, THAILAND – Nissan Thailand has continued its 4th year consecutive support of the Royal Forest Department's Fire Hawk Team in the effort to prevent seasonal forest fires during dry season in the northern provinces of Thailand. The forest fires can weaken the air quality with hazardous PM 2.5 particles.

Nissan will provide one unit of the high performance Nissan Navara PRO-4X and donate necessary tools and supplies for instance multi-purpose spotlight, medicines and dry food, to the forest fire fighting teams and local volunteers.

Adjima Wannapintu, Vice President, Marketing, Nissan Thailand, said, "Forest fires and their impact, especially the PM2.5, are very serious environmental issues because of their massive impact on Thailand and its neighbors. As part of Nissan’s commitment to the country, we are proud to continue providing support for forest fire prevention. We hope that by using high-performance vehicles like the Nissan Navara, people on the frontline can work better, faster and more safely."

Thawatchai Thanarojrungruang, Director of the Chiangmai Forest Fire Control Extension Center, said, "Thank you Nissan Thailand to the continued support the mission of Forest fire fighting for the 4 years. Our team which are both staff and local volunteers have to work in high-risk areas like dense forests, high mountains and ravines. Support from the private sector and the public provides real moral support for us and helps us work more efficiently and safely."

The Nissan Navara PRO-4X best suits this operation, thanks to its powerful performance and toughness, which are the DNA of Nissan pickups. It can transport people and equipment on rough roads through the woods and bring volunteers from local communities under the responsibility of the Fire Hawk Team to the forest fire hotspot faster. Meanwhile, other necessary equipment helps them work more efficiently, safely and conveniently.

Its famous reinforced steel chassis provides excellent payload capabilities. Other features offering usability and versatility include an integrated step in the rear bumper that makes bed access easier and a flap-type, tie-down hook that helps secure both large and small loads.
