Did You Know?/¿Sabia Usted? Adults and children should be familiar with fire extinguishers: Every home should have a fire extinguisher, and parents and older children should know how to use it in case of emergency. Small fires can escalate quickly, and there is not always time to wait for the fire department. Parents should familiarize themselves with the extinguishers in their homes, and teach children where the extinguishers are located and how to operate them safely. Use the PASS trick to help kids remember what to do: Pull the pin, Aim at the fire’s base, Squeeze the handle, Sweep from side to side. To request a copy of the VIRTUS article “Fire Extinguisher Tips Everyone Should Know,” email [email protected] or call (213) 637-7227. Los adultos y los niños deben estar familiarizados con los extintores: Cada hogar debe tener un extintor de incendios, y los padres de familia y los niños mayores deben saber cómo usarlo en caso de emergencia. Pequeños incendios pueden escalar rápidamente, y no siempre hay tiempo para esperar a los bomberos. Los padres de familia deben familiarizarse con los extintores en sus hogares, y enseñar a los niños donde se encuentran los extintores y cómo operarlos con seguridad. Repase con ellos las siguientes instrucciones para su uso: Tirar del pasador, apuntar a la base del fuego, apretar el mango, moverlo de lado a lado. Para solicitar una copia del artículo de VIRTUS “Fire Extinguisher Tips Everyone Should Know” (Consejos de Extintor de Fuego que Todos Deben Saber), escriba a [email protected] o llame al (213) 637-7508.
