DOTHAN: Dothan Fire Chief Larry Williams has announced his retirement to the men and women in Dothan Fire Department.
For 40 years Larry Williams has been in emergency services. Beginning with Pilcher Ambulance Service, Eufaula Fire Department, Ozark Fire Department and then Dothan Fire Department.
Chief Larry Williams served almost 38 years with Dothan Fire Department and rose through the ranks. When Dothan Fire Department has three rescue trucks, Eastside, Central and Westgate, he rode as a paramedic on the rescue truck.
Chief Larry Williams has served the past 19 years years as Dothan Fire Chief. As Chief and through team work of the more than 200 men and women in the Dothan Fire Departent, he has lead Dothan to a Fire ISO rating of Number 1. A great savings on insurance for property owners.
Under Chief Williams leadership a new fire station was constructed on West Main Street and Whatley Drive. Dothan Fire Department has an average response time of 5 minutes or less. Which is tremendous. The Lakewood Fire Station, from memory, I think came under Chief Williams leadership. Dothan Fire was designated and managed equipment for heavy rescue and haz mat trucks which served this region of Alabama.
THANK YOU for your dedication to saving lives and property.
