About the event
Join HEN and Norse Fire Equipment for a hands-on Demo Day at the Rapid City Fire Department Training Grounds, hosted by Stone Face Fools, focused on real-world fireground performance in South Dakota conditions.
This event brings together firefighters, instructors, and neighboring departments for a full day of modern suppression training, flowing-water evolutions, and practical discussions focused on water-application efficiency, operational control, and real-world engine company tactics. Attendees will have the opportunity to get hands-on with HEN structural and wildland nozzles while engaging directly with HEN instructors, Norse Fire Equipment, Stone Face FOOLS, and regional fire service professionals.
The day will include classroom instruction, hands-on flowing evolutions, multiple training stations, and collaborative discussions designed to provide practical, actionable takeaways firefighters can apply back on the fireground.
