Trinity Fire Products: Leading EV fire Nozzle Innovators
Built by Naperville firefighters
Trinity Fire Products is a firefighter-owned company in Naperville, Illinois. We were founded in 2022 by two Naperville firefighters, Danny Puknaitis and Mike Jost, to build tools that solve problems we were seeing on our own rigs.
How Poseidon® started
A few years ago we started seeing more electric vehicles in garages and driveways across our district. We kept asking each other the same question: what does a first-in truck company do at 2 a.m. when the fire in the garage turns out to be an EV that was charging? Most of the answers we heard came down to "let it burn" or "figure it out when we get there." That wasn't good enough for us.
Our answer was simple: get water underneath the vehicle, fast, without putting a firefighter on the ground next to it. Danny was learning to weld, so we started building. The first prototype weighed about 100 pounds and was, in Mike's words, "unmanageable." After many prototypes and a lot of trial and error, we ended up with Poseidon: an 18 lb, 6063 aluminum nozzle that flows 400+ GPM on a 1¾" line.

What we believe
Tools should earn their compartment. Space on a rig is limited, so Poseidon does more than one job.
Firefighter safety first. It's light enough to hand down safely, and it flows while you deploy it.
Honest about what it does. We'll tell you what Poseidon is for and what it isn't.
Made in the USA.
