Help Fight Fires in the Slums

Hi. I’m Greg Lange, Co- Founder of Bangkok Community Help Foundation and I have a special message on helping the slum community with fire fighting equipment. They have asked for our direct help. It’s desperately needed as the houses are on top of each other, when a fire happens. The volunteers that live in the community need a special fire engines to pump water and proper jackets. My birthday wish is rather then blow candles out on a cake, with your help is to blow fires out in the slum communities. ❤️

What k Not was using on last weeks fire before the donation on Friday of fire suits. We have two more communities to outfit. We need your help. ❤️

Bangkok Community Help Foundation last week was helping to provide water and 500 meals to firefighters and residents fighting the fire in Ban Kai Rama 4 community. The latest fire has been controlled. Fire started in a two story wood building and quickly spread.

Sending fresh drinking water and meals to the fireman and the community members of the fire in Bonkai community (Rama 4) - Over 30 houses were lost.

The volunteer firefighters needed a firefighting pump
which cost 279,000 baht.
Bangkok Community Help Foundation bought the same model from Japan for 26,000 baht second hand. BCHF also bought the connectors and hoses and this was an additional 7,300 baht. 

Firefighters also wear a Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) with a full 30- minute bottle of air weighing 15 kilos. This cost 140,000 baht in the USA for certain brands and BCHF bought a Draeger SCBA for 11,650 baht per unit second hand for two firemen. 

A fire fighter uniform consists of a fiberglass helmet with hood, bunker coat and pants, gloves and boots that collectively weigh roughly 15 kilos. This cost around 60,000 baht new per outfit. In the USA, the estimated cost is around 400,000 baht per firefighter.

A huge thanks to แอสโทก้าประมูล Astoca Auction for donating much needed fire fighting gear for the volunteer fire fighters of the Khua Phrik and Pattanamai Community. Bangkok Community Help Foundation is helping local volunteer fire-departments. #Bangkok #fire
