monitors.
“Our reputation has been carefully built upon getting
the job done safely in the shortest possible time, thus
minimizing damage to client property, the community and
the environment,” says Dwight Williams.
“Williams Fire & Hazard Control sought to fill an
industry need for a quick and effective independent
response force to quell the threat of hazardous
flammable liquid fires and hazardous material
emergencies,” Dwight says.
“We have support personnel around the world and can
mobilize an emergency strike force within hours of
receiving an emergency call from any point on the globe.
We pride ourselves of course on our successful history
of fire extinguishment, but also on the relationships we
have with our clients – in helping them understand their
risk and preparing for a crisis. Whether showing them
more effective tactical procedures for their facility,
organizing infrastructure and logistical plans, or
supporting proper equipment and supply lines for their
protection, ... we take an interest in their effective
abilities and compliment it with ours to better manage
an emergency.”
From ship fires at sea, to multiple storage tank fires,
pipeline blowouts, and train derailments, Williams Fire
& Hazard Control has responded swiftly and effectively
to extinguish large fires that in the past were left to
burn themselves out. Their mobility, logistics mastery
and assessment expertise have resulted in saving
literally millions of dollars for their clients who
faced their worst economic disaster.
Since Les and Dwight Williams began Williams Fire &
Hazard Control in 1980, each new challenge has been met
as an opportunity to improve upon tactical and
engineering approach. Constantly seeking to attain an
even higher proficiency level creates a dynamic
motivation toward solution engineering in every aspect
of their systems, components, assessments and tactical
procedures. With a rich history of overwhelmingly
successful extinguishments (Williams Fire & Hazard
Control holds the record for the largest fully-involved
flammable liquid tank fire ever extinguished at 270
feet!) Williams has established a legacy of doing the
unexpected - and shows no signs of letting up!
“We are built upon the field experience of every
firefighter in our ranks. We have seen many, many
challenges - and we have overcome them all. Our people,
our clients’ people are the most valuable asset at risk,
and we take that very seriously. That is why we never
rest with status quo. We are constantly seeking better,
safer and more effective solutions. You can see it in
every piece of equipment we build — and with the good
Lord’s help, we will continue.”
“When we show up, it’s all business - and we don’t leave
until the job is done.”
