Williams Direct Dryers is committed to serving firehouses and first responders by providing specialized turnout gear dryers designed to meet the rigorous demands of the emergency response industry. Our PPE dryers cater to a broad spectrum of fire departments, offering both freestanding and wall-mounted options – each meticulously engineered with advanced drying ports to help accommodate various types of protective gear and accessories. With Williams Direct Dryers, fire departments and first responders have access to equipment that offers the efficient drying of turnout gear, water rescue or hazmat suits, helmets, boots, gloves, SCBA masks, and more.

At Williams Direct Dryers, we understand the diverse needs of fire departments and first responders. Space constraints are a common issue, and our turnout gear dryers address this by offering wall-mounted and portable options to fit seamlessly into nearly any available area. No matter how limited your space may be, we offer a solution that is likely to fit within your facility. We make it easy for you to incorporate a safer and more effective drying solution wherever you need it.

With our units, you can be assured of efficient drying processes that help keep PPE and other gear more readily available for action.
The importance of proper drying for fire gear and first responder gear cannot be overstated. Beyond simply keeping equipment ready for immediate reuse, our turnout gear dryers play a crucial role in protecting the health and safety of personnel. Dirty or damp turnout gear is not only uncomfortable but can pose serious health risks. Contaminants found in smoke and soot, such as benzene and other carcinogens, can linger on gear and potentially lead to long-term health consequences, including an increased risk of certain cancers.
At Williams Direct Dryers, our innovative forced-air drying technology allows firehouses to effectively first clean with an extractor and then dry gear, helping to remove moisture as well as harmful residues to prolong the integrity of heat-resistant fabrics. By maintaining thermal stability and protecting the fabrics of these life-saving pieces of equipment, our PPE dryers help fire departments and first responder facilities ensure the safety of their team members.
To demonstrate our commitment to quality, all Williams Direct Dryers products come with a robust warranty, providing our customers with greater peace of mind and assurance in their investment. Every turnout gear dryer is backed by a five-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship and a two-year warranty on electrical components, helping ensure reliability and longevity. Our dedication to excellence in manufacturing and customer service makes us at Williams Direct Dryers a dependable partner for first responders worldwide.
Williams Direct Dryers has devoted years of research and development to creating turnout gear dryers specifically designed for the demanding conditions that firefighters face. With various models available, we offer an array of solutions to suit firehouses and first responder facilities of virtually all sizes.

Each of our dryers comes equipped with an option for room temperature or warmed air, allowing users to adjust drying temperatures with a simple flip of a switch. This feature adds flexibility, enabling users to choose the most appropriate drying setting based on the needs of each piece of gear and time available to dry.
Turnout gear dryers from Williams Direct Dryers use a combination of ambient, room temperature or gently warmed forced air, depending on the setting selected by the user, that circulates through the interior and around the gear placed on specially designed arms or racks. Our drying systems allow for the gentle yet effective drying of structural firefighting PPE and equipment. They are designed to help preserve the life of PPE while ensuring it is dried efficiently, making it more comfortable and readily available.
Absolutely. One of the biggest risks in the fire service is exposure to harmful carcinogens and pathogens trapped in moisture-laden gear. By ensuring that turnout gear is properly and thoroughly dried after washing or heavy use, our turnout gear dryers help minimize health risks, reduce the potential for mold or mildew growth, and keep gear in optimal working condition. Dry PPE also enhances mobility and thermal insulation, both of which are essential for on-the-job performance and long-term safety.
