Currently on a trial basis, Haz-Mut is designed for reconnaissance, 3D mapping, and remote metering in dangerous environments. The department announced the robot’s integration on July 3, 2025, highlighting its potential to become a permanent asset for protecting responders and the community. Haz-Mut’s capabilities include navigating hazardous areas to gather critical data, reducing the need for human exposure. The robot can perform 3D mapping of unstable or dangerous sites, providing real-time spatial information to incident commanders. It also conducts remote metering to detect potentially hazardous materials, such as chemical or radiological substances, from a safe distance. </p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The Southern Maryland Chronicle</strong></h4> <div class="wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-a89b3969 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex"><div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button" href="https://southernmarylandchronicle.com/2025/07/07/charles-county-hazmat-team-trials-robot-haz-mut/" style="background-color:#b33232" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer noopener">View Full Story</a></div></div><p>The post <a href="https://dailydispatch.com/news/maryland/charles-county-hazmat-team-trials-robot-haz-mut/">Charles County Hazmat Team Trials Robot Haz-Mut</a> appeared first on <a href="https://dailydispatch.com">Daily Dispatch</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">210060</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Fort Valley Fire Chief Antonio Woodard dies</title> <link>https://dailydispatch.com/news/georgia/fort-valley-fire-chief-antonio-woodard-dies/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Megan Campbell]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 08 Jul 2025 07:06:18 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Georgia Fire News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Georgia]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Southeast Region]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://dailydispatch.com/?p=211699</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>Fort Valley Fire Chief Antonio Woodard died at his home in Fort Valley, according to a city news release.
