Joining a Corporate Collaboration Based Volunteer Fire Corps

Morita

Morita believes that ensuring "safety and security" in the Sanda City Technopark, Hyogo Prefecture, in which Morita's factory is located, is one of its missions as a fire truck manufacturer and has accordingly joined a "corporate collaboration based volunteer fire corps," which is a model project set up by the prefecture with the aim of promoting participation in volunteer fire corps. In December 2016, Morita was designated as the prefecture's first "corporate collaboration based volunteer fire corps" and, since then, participates in fire fighting events held by the city and disaster drills in the community and conducts other fire fighting related activities.
