Mother of two killed battling forest fire

By The Nation

 

 

A mother of two in Chiang Mai province was killed on Friday (April 3) as she helped residents battle a forest fire in Chom Thong district.

 

Tanee Kitchareonpat, 41, was found dead in the forest near Bon Na village after the blaze had been extinguished.

 

Villagers told police that Tanee and other residents had rushed to douse the flames after the fire broke out near their homes the previous night. When the blaze grew stronger, the group was forced to retreat from the area but Tanee was left behind.

 

Tanee’s two children have been left in the care of their grandfather, Daeng Suntripaiwan.

 

Facebook user Udom Tabi posted the bank account number of Tanee’s father, Daeng Suntripaiwan, as his two grandchildren have now lost their mother.

 

The account number with the Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives (BAAC) is 011 232 2991 49.

Not surprising she died from smoke inhalation. Must have been a lightning storm. Oddly those fires break out in hundreds of locations every night around where we are causing horrendous air pollution. Today Chiang Mai is listed as the most polluted city on the planet and Chiang Rai is almost 500 AQI 2.5 PM! both cities are listed as extremly hazardous for breathing effecting million of lives.

he was a pc IT guy not a fire fighter

Very sad, so sorry to hear this. Surely this government, l..e as they are, can do something with cross-border neighbours and locals to stop the burning.

This tragic event is a waste of life, and land all round!

Here is another instance of gov't concern for IT"S PEOPLE........

Rather than buying useless 'Submarines' they need 'Fire Trucks' much worse.

He is not a world leader, he is tasked to benefit the people Chiang mai.

Get into your thick skull that residents deserve better.
