Williams Fire & Hazard Control has traveled the Gulf of Mexico, the North Atlantic, Africa, the Orient, the Pacific Rim and beyond to respond to Land and Marine fire emergencies.
As an industrial firefighting company with three generations of flammable liquid firefighting assessment and extinguishment experience that includes over 200 successful responses, Williams' mission is twofold — extinguish fires effectively and build equipment that exceeds all challenges as seen on those fires.
“With a long-standing reputation across industry as getting the job done safely in the shortest possible time, our standing mission is to Minimize Risk and Maximize Success as we work to defend client property, the community, and the environment when challenged by the world’s worst industrial fires”, Dwight Williams — Founder of Williams Fire & Hazard Control.
“We 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.”
When confronting …
we apply the very best tactics and equipment we can to gain an unfair advantage to beat the odds.
From our earliest days as a response company, each new challenge has provided us an opportunity to improve on equipment engineering and tactical approach. Constantly seeking to attain an even higher proficiency level creates a dynamic motivation toward solution engineering in every aspect of our 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!)
“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.”
