A European edition of the weekly event, which takes place annually in Beaumont, Texas, will be held in the north of Paris from 27 September to 1 October 2015.
Through classroom lectures and field exercises Williams Xtreme Industrial Fire & Hazard Training School provides training in how to respond safely and effectively to fire emergencies.
Innovative methodologies, tactics and fire protection equipment for applications in the petrochemical and oil & gas industries will be showcased.
Sessions at the Joint Oil Industry Fire Forum (JOIFF)-accredited workshop focus on diverse incident profiles and fire dynamics, foam and dry chemical application, response logistics and field operations, case studies and large-volume equipment applications.
Students play an active role in live demonstrations, which are held in a 200m2 area consisting of pressure-fed fires, hydrocarbon pressure fuel fires, fuels-in-depth and boil-over demonstration.
Teams learn a range of fire-fighting techniques including foam applications, dry chemicals and attack lines.
Williams Fire & Hazard Control has 34 years’ experience of tackling blazes in arguably the most challenging of environments when it comes to fire, the oil and gas industry.
