Ken Freiburger, Chief

Walkerton Fire Dpt, ON

This unit is doing a fantastic drying job. The gear feels like it was naturally dried which leaves it soft and plyable. After our washing and drying you would think the gear was new right out of the bag.

Chris Guile, Fire Investigator

Edwardsville Fire Dpt, IL

We received the dryer and it is now in operation. It works great! Hopefully this will encourage the guys to clean their gear more often. Thank you for your help.

Mike LaPlante, Assistant Chief

Farmingdale VFD (ME)

The PS2 fits our needs quite well. Thank you!

Dan Hoff, Chief

York Area United Fire Rescue (PA)

Our dryers all work beyond expectations. Wet is dry in no time. We wash our gear more often and the service from Williams and Jon Kugler has been great.

Scott A. Clifford, Lieutenant

Richmond Fire Dpt, KY

The Model RM8 that we purchased is of the finest quality and workmanship that I have seen in a long time. Desmond Mayne was very helpful and courteous in answering any and all questions we had regarding this product. The unit is very “User Friendly” and effective in mask drying. Keep up the good work.
