The Government of Nova Scotia’s Department of Emergency Management will be investing $2.64M into the acquisition of two mobile burn units and four propane-fueled training props that will expand hands-on firefighter training capacity. The two mobile burn units will be based in the western and central regions and moved as necessary to support training. “Firefighters need realistic, high-quality training to safely do their jobs and protect the public,” said NS Minister of Emergency Management Kim Masland. “[Mobile burn units] help close training gaps and ensure firefighters across the province can train closer to home in a safe and controlled environment.” NS stated that it is continuing to work on the development of a long-term training program.
