ABOUT HEN®
At HEN® Nozzles, we don’t just build nozzles—we engineer the future of fire suppression. Since 2020, we’ve been on a relentless mission to arm firefighters with cutting-edge technology that enhances performance, efficiency, and safety on the fireground.
Founded by Sunny Sethi, Ph.D., and inspired by the devastating California wildfires of 2019-2021, HEN® Nozzles is driven by science and real-world firefighting experience. With research backed by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and designs vetted by top fire service leaders, our patented BLADE™ nozzles mark the biggest leap forward in fire suppression in over 50 years.
Funded by a Federal Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), HEN® Nozzles was developed to address the growing global threat of wildland fires.
The fire service deserves better tools. We’re making them.
