Commonly known first as an Industrial Fire Response company, Williams Fire & Hazard Control maintains a diverse roster of specialized fire response personnel including marine firefighters who have seen dozens of shipboard fire and water borne emergencies requiring both structural knowledge of marine vessels as well as tactical and logistical prowess that is unique to these incidents.

As an industrial firefighting company with three generations of flammable liquid firefighting assessment and extinguishment experience including over 200 successful responses, Williams mission is twofold — extinguish fires effectively and build equipment that exceeds all challenges as seen on those fires.
