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 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.
