Saskatoon Fire Marshal Brian Conway said if you ever see smoke coming from under the hood of your vehicle, stop immediately and make sure the doors are unlocked before turning the vehicle off.

“Make sure you help everyone get out and don’t worry about your belongings. Get away from the vehicle and call 911 as fast as possible.”

Conway said if you don’t have your phone, ask anyone nearby.
