Steve Grisko, General Manager of Williams Fire & Hazard Control Operations, offers his insights into the last several months following TYCO’s acquisition of Williams Fire & Hazard Control.
“Nearing six months since welcoming Williams Fire & Hazard Control into the Tyco Fire Protection Products (TFPP) family, leadership teams are making great strides toward better serving the POG market as we all learn about one another, develop new product strategies, and look to capitalize on strengths inherent in both companies. We have learned a great deal about those attributes that set WFHC apart as a leader in the industry and look to magnify them as we move forward”, says Grisko. Characteristics such as:
“We are also very excited to continue the annual tradition of presenting the XTREME Industrial Fire & Hazard training event this May 13-17 in Beaumont, Texas. Attendees can look forward to a dynamic event filled with great people, renewed classroom focus, exciting field and live-firefighting exercises, and valuable time spent together sharing the knowledge and expertise that helps build a stronger response community.”

Fire field logistics are ranked nearly as high as equipment on hand and personnel available when facing industrial responses. Large fires require large volumes of water, which sometimes require multiple large diameter water supply hoses. The most convenient, reliable, and safest means of distributing large volumes of water over an entire facility is by constructing underground water delivery systems with above ground hydrant manifolds. These hydrant manifolds are then used in conjunction with large diameter water supply hose to supply the necessary water to pumps, fire nozzles, and foam proportioning equipment.
• By more efficiently supplying water, swivel hydrants could reduce the number of necessary hydrant locations by as much as 50% (depending on hydrant layout and size)

For his long standing service as a Professional Firefighter with Marine and Industrial expertise, Chauncey Naylor was recognized by Industrial FireWorld with its prestigious Red Adair Award in 2011.
David White presented Naylor with the award following his presentation to the audience on the DeepWater Horizon incident of 2010 — an historic event on which Chauncey was Lead Firefighter representing Williams Fire & Hazard Control during fire response operations during relief well drilling and kill operations following the loss of Deepwater Horizon platform to a consuming deck fire.
Chauncey has been with Williams Fire & Hazard Control for 16 years and is now acting Vice President of Response Services.

Our 2011 XTREME Industrial Fire & Hazard Training Event was the largest yet. With over nearly 300 attendees, this year's school once again saw visitors from around the world converging on Beaumont, TX to spend a week filled with case studies, fire field logistics, live fire rotations, and more.
Tap into the knowledge gained from over 200 successful flammable liquid emergency responses.
Recent events are studied to draw on the successes of your peers in industry. Looking closely at incident details and response practices with a focus on lessons learned strengthens the group and everyone comes away better fire response professionals.
Get your hands on the equipment that shapes effective large volume response tactics. From field hydraulics, to foam proportioning, from apparatus support applications to end of line delivery ... a full day is committed to getting up close and personal with the field equipment and their applications.
Flammable liquid firefighters rely on proper foam applications and reliability to overcome the unique dynamics of fires involving hydrocarbons and polar solvents.
Large volume delivery extends to Williams Fire & Hazard Control’s fixed systems which are designed to protect docks, process areas, terminals, loading racks, and more — with elevated remote controlled Hydro-Chem systems and Hydro-Foam units delivering upwards of 10,000 gpm of water foam solution.
A full day of the XTREME Industrial Fire & Hazard Training week squares mind and muscle against pressure fed fires, pooling fires, running fuel fires, and fuels-in-depth all exercising teams’ use of coordinated dry-chemical applications, hand line attacks, ground monitor deployment, Quick Attack monitor operations, and large volume Big Gun logistics.
Throughout the week hospitality events help attendees unwind and to share quality time with both their peers and with Willams Fire & Hazard Control fire response personnel to explore all questions relative to fire response in a casual environment.
We have placed several Williams Fire & Hazard Control videos covering incident samples, product demos, and from our annual XTREME Industrial Fire & Hazard Training on the OFFICIAL "THE WilliamsFire" YouTube space. More videos will be added to our website AND to our YouTube space over time ...
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Dual Agent Foam Chamber
Recent responses have led Williams Fire & Hazard Control to develop this new COMPLIANCE+ product for automated incipient response to Internal Floating Roof Tanks.
Gorilla - 500 Lb PKW Dry Chemical Vessel
This package offers 500 lbs of dry chemical to sustain both ground and monitor based attacks — perfect for rollover events, terminal response, or any other three-dimensional scenario.
This iron cast nozzle is installed at grade level shielding it from blast damage and allowing the upward attack pattern to apply water foam solution to surrounding process area assets.
Center Shot / Flex Nozzle
Williams' nozzle design is intended to maximize reach and foam application for various scenarios.
