Delta Fire & Safety was born on the Texas Gulf Coast, where refineries, chemical plants, industrial brigades, and municipal fire departments created one of the most demanding firefighting environments in the country.
That environment shaped how we work: know the equipment, understand the job, and support the people who depend on it. Today, that same practical approach connects everything Delta supplies and services.

Early 2000s
The next generation.
In the early 2000s, Eric Currie took over the business, carrying Delta into its next generation and continuing its transformation into the full-service fire-equipment and PPE organization it is today.
Over the following decades, Delta evolved beyond equipment distribution. The business developed deeper capabilities in PPE service, cleaning, inspection, repair, and the support required to keep firefighters and departments operational.
Delta today
Equipment for the job. Support beyond the sale.
From the first set of turnout gear to the care it needs in service, Delta brings equipment supply and PPE support together under four core capabilities.
Your gear needs service. Your crew still has a job to do.
Our Free Loaner Gear program helps departments maintain PPE coverage while their gear is being cleaned, inspected, or repaired. Talk with your Delta representative to coordinate sizes, availability, and service needs.
Know the equipment. Understand the job. Take care of the customer.

Delta Fire & Safety was born on the Texas Gulf Coast, where refineries, chemical plants, industrial brigades, and municipal fire departments created one of the most demanding firefighting environments in the country.
From its earliest years, Delta operated at the intersection of firefighting equipment, industrial safety, and the people doing the job.
1970sAn industrial firefighting connection
Its history connects to figures who would later help shape modern industrial firefighting, including Les and Dwight Williams, whose careers ultimately led to the formation of Boots & Coots Fire & Protective Equipment and later Williams Fire & Hazard Control.
But Delta’s own story continued.

This Delta mark pairs “Industrial Service & Supply” with “Fire & Safety.” It appears on National Foam’s firefighting-school page and shows the industrial side of Delta’s identity. The artwork is undated.
The magnolia blossom and Magnolene lettering are preserved on this roadside sign, photographed in 2008. This artifact illustrates Texas petroleum heritage; it is presented separately from Delta’s ownership history.
