  • Mississippi Department of Public Safety and Mississippi Office of Homeland Security awarded a grant to Collins Fire Department for a robotic vehicle.

The Collins Fire Department in Georgia has recently acquired a new tool for fighting fires known as the "Firefighter Mobility System." This innovative device, developed by the company Firefighter Mobility, is essentially a powered dolly that allows firefighters to move heavy equipment like hoses, tools, and even injured personnel more efficiently across various terrains. The system is designed to reduce the physical burden on firefighters, enabling them to conserve energy for critical firefighting tasks. It can be operated by one person, features a compact design for easy storage, and can handle loads up to 500 pounds. This tool not only enhances the mobility of firefighters but also aims to improve their safety and effectiveness in emergency situations.
