2026 Dinges Fire Company Daze (Day One) | Osceola, NE

Join Dinges Fire Company, HEN Nozzles, and leading fire-service manufacturers for the opening day of the 2026 Dinges Fire Company Demo Daze.

Demonstrations will include water mapping inside the training tower, large-flow and wildland nozzle applications, SAM BOOST water delivery, vehicle stabilization, extrication equipment, hose performance, electric vehicle response, and additional fireground technologies.

The evening will conclude with dinner and presentations from Nick Dinges and Ray McCormack.
