You can clearly see the hallway is a vision of total coverage, with a easy up and down motion with the horizontal HEN's Blade Pattern. This pays really execution dividends during actual suppression in three ways, cooling the gases (contraction), coverages surfaces (to the sides and down range), easier to achieve proper level of good make up air entrainment. This is all done with a easier to master pattern in application, this means better results during task saturation and time compression (this happens at real incidents) and a large percentage of members achieving all three items mentioned based on smart fire stream pattern design. What's not to like? U.S. Fire Administration The first major change in handline fire stream development in over 75 years that is common sense and thermodynamically driven. We should all take notice, equipment spec matters, and progress occurs all the time. #firesafety #firefighter #fireengineering #fireequipment
Pageland FD (SC) putting the HEN Blade 160 thru its paces. A huge thank you to Chief Tommy Rivers and the Pageland FD in South Carolina for sharing this video of their newly received HEN Blade 160. This is a great clip of his firefighters moving thru their training building while flowing. The Blade pattern simplifies the push by increasing the coverage, reducing the amount of nozzle movement needed to cool the area in front of you. And be advised, Chief Rivers wanted me to know that this was their first hands-on attempt with their Blade 160, their first real exposure to it. Well, with Blade in hand, that firefighter looked pretty good for having just been exposed to this new nozzle. Just think how good your firefighters will look when they are flowing a HEN Blade 160. If you are in the process of evaluating nozzles and you aren't adding HEN to the list, you are doing a disservice to your department and to your community. There is no reason not to explore HEN.

It is great for Orange County and all the other PSAPs (911 call centers) that have embraced Carbyne's emergency systems in their 911 infrastructure. However, it is concerning to hear that most of the United States' emergency 911 systems are still built on old technology. Nassau County (where I live) made a significant investment (over 110k) for the upgrade to text-to-911, which, while a step forward, is already surpassed by more advanced options offered by Carbyne. Their technology, such as text to video (so operators can give proper responses based on verified situations), geolocation (to the exact latitude and longitude), advanced information response systems for operators (yes, based off of video analyzed as well), and automatic language translation (yes, it's a voice translator, wow!). This is just the beginning of what Carbyne offers. Carbyne also offers an unparalleled Emergency platform; they also have most of the patents for most of these technologies. In the world we live in, these are the kind of innovative and comprehensive solutions that are essential for protecting lives in emergency situations. I urge all my contacts who are involved with 911 call centers to consider what Carbyne offers and to advocate for its adoption or to work with a Carbyne partner that has Carbyne in the background. It's clear that complacency and the use of outdated technology are not acceptable when lives are at stake. Let's work together to ensure that our emergency response systems are equipped with the most advanced and effective technology available. #carbyne911 #lifesafety #schoolsafety #e911 #sia David Weingot 🇮🇱 Ari Erenthal Michael Glasser Kenneth Gould Alan Glasser Amir Elichai
I'm excited to announce that Orange County Fire Authority has embraced the power of video through Video to ProQA® (Priority Dispatch Corporation), powered by Carbyne. Being the largest fire and rescue department in Central Florida, serving over 1,000,000 citizens and visitors annually, Orange County Fire Rescue is on a mission to save lives. Their objective? To deliver exceptional fire suppression, emergency medical, and community risk reduction services to their community. The seamless integration of patented video into their existing protocols has streamlined emergency response, eliminating the need for additional over-the-top solutions and making the process even more efficient. A heartfelt thank you to Orange County Fire Rescue for their unwavering commitment to providing a safer, more connected, and resilient community. Your dedication is truly commendable! #consolidation #integration #allinone

"Complexity is the enemy of Execution." is my favorite Tony Robbins quote. The beauty of the HENnozzles design is the idea is not complex, it is simple. Simple does not mean easy to pull off. Efficiency in extinguishment has a lot to do with placement of water from pattern shapes, droplet sizes and concertation of water per square foot per second. Wet stuff in sufficient volumes in the right place, as quickly and easily as possible for the nozzle operator, easy right but basically no change in fire stream handline nozzle designs for the last 50 years. Fog or Smooth Bore Tip If this type of adjustable smooth bore nozzle was easy to design and develop it would have been done a long time ago, it makes to much sense. The concept is great, the complexity in fluidics in the water way and keeping number of parts at a very low number and very robustly constructed, took years and a team with advance backgrounds. HENnozzles.com is also reflective of this mindset "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." – Leonardo da Vinci. This reminds me very much of my Tru ID hose push, early adopters will be ahead of the curve and will see great results in suppression performance from wildland to structural in fire stream development through the enhancement to the application / placement methodologies that is only available from a HEN, Bladed Adjustable Smoothbore.
El Cerrito FD is all in with HEN HEN Nozzles would like to thank El Cerrito FD for making the largest purchase to date. They took delivery of both structure and wildland nozzles to place on their front line engines. We are proud and honored to have HEN Nozzles protecting the citizens of El Cerrito. The future of fire streams is here. Check us out at HENnozzles.com

In the process of building a national #fire #hydrant database, we would often get told by local governments that it would be a "national security risk" due to the ability to put poison inside of a hydrant. We'd run this by #firefighters and they would chuckle and say "no it's not -that's not how hydrants work." Here's what happens when you mess with a hydrant. Any yes, I remain obsessed by #hydrants - the unheralded champions of water distubution, firefighting success, and even #wildfire suppression. Go Team Hydrant! #insurance #insurtech
