$15,000 worth of training equipment is heading to Moose Jaw to help local firefighters learn how to deal with the increasing event of car fires.

More and more calls are to vehicle fires according to Chief Rod Montgomery and they can be dangerous, so staff need to learn how to approach the site safely.

"We don't have anything for that type of training so this is a big step forward for us." said Montgomery. "We can do just the engine fire or a trunk fire or the entire car on fire. With vehicles and today's technology, the bumpers are air loaded so they could fire off and knock people's knees out."

TransCanada Pipeline donated $10,000 and Drager Canada chipped in $5000, so all that was left for the city was the $3000 for shipping.

The simulator is basically a shell of a car made from high heat steal. They can produce flames in any part of the vehicle using propane to simulate what firefighters might deal with.
