Distintas formas para evitar incendios en el hogar

(Family Features) Cuando se aproxima la temporada festiva, comienzan las reuniones con familiares y amigos. Debido al mayor uso de la cocina, los accesorios de decoración y los clásicos rituales con velas y llamas, en diciembre aumenta drásticamente el riesgo de que se produzcan incendios en el hogar y, como consecuencia, las quemaduras en niños.

Las tradiciones navideñas podrían causar un devastador incendio cuando hay niños pequeños en el hogar. La Administración de Incendios de Estados Unidos ha publicado informes que indican que se producen alrededor de 128.700 incendios en diciembre, lo que se traduce en 415 muertos y 1.650 heridos.

Concientización sobre incendios

Según el Dr. David Herndon, M.D., que se desempeña en Shriners Hospitals for Children® en Galveston, existen tres tipos de quemaduras pediátricas que son frecuentes durante las festividades.  Se incluyen las quemaduras por vapor o líquidos calientes, el contacto con objetos calientes o llamas y las quemaduras por descarga eléctrica. Si conoce este tipo de lesiones comunes y la manera de evitarlas, podría mantener a su familia a salvo durante esta época festiva.

Consejos de seguridad contra incendios durante los días festivos

Cuide a sus seres queridos y prepárese para los días festivos con anticipación con estos simples consejos de seguridad contra incendios del hospital pediátrico Shriners Hospitals for Children:

Decoración festiva

  • Asegúrese de que su árbol se encuentre, por lo menos, a tres (3) pies de distancia de fuentes de calor, como chimeneas, radiadores, calefactores, velas o rejillas de calefacción.
  • Si tiene un árbol natural en la casa, manténgalo bien regado y retírelo una vez finalizadas las fiestas o cuando se seque.

Iluminación festiva

  • Cada año, antes de utilizar las luces navideñas, contrólelas para detectar cables pelados, perforaciones, retorcimiento o desgaste excesivo.
  • Antes de introducir el cable en el tomacorriente, conecte las luces a un cable de extensión.

El cuidado de las velas

  • Considere el uso de velas a batería, es decir, velas sin llama.
  • Nunca deje velas encendidas sin la supervisión de un adulto. Asegúrese de que los soportes de las velas encendidas sean estables, y que estén ubicados en un lugar donde no puedan ser derribados fácilmente.

Cocina navideña12290 Mom Daughter Cooking

  • Cocinar es la principal causa de incendios en el hogar y de heridas por quemaduras: recomendamos estar atento cuando cocine alimentos fritos.
  • Permanezca cerca de la sartén, y oriente los mangos de las ollas hacia la parte posterior del hornillo para que los niños no puedan alcanzarlos.
  • Cocine con prendas de mangas cortas o enrolle las mangas largas.
  • Mantenga cerca la tapa de la sartén o la bandeja para horno para cubrir la sartén si comienza a incendiarse.

Esté preparado
Para proteger a sus seres queridos, asegúrese de que su casa cuente con detectores de humo y extintores de incendios. La época navideña es el momento ideal para cambiar las baterías de los detectores de humo y para comprobar el buen funcionamiento de los extintores de incendios.

Prepare un plan de escape para su familia, y siempre cocine con cuidado. Lo más importante es que si usted o su hijo sufre algún tipo de quemadura, debe consultar a un médico de inmediato.


Cuidado de quemaduras por pediatras especializados

Desde que el hospital pediátrico Shriners Hospitals for Children comenzó el tratamiento de quemaduras, se ha duplicado la tasa de supervivencia de niños con quemaduras en más de un 50% de su superficie corporal. Hoy en día, los pacientes con quemaduras en el 90% de su cuerpo pueden sobrevivir y llevar vidas plenas y productivas.

Estos hospitales brindan atención y cuidados críticos, quirúrgicos y de rehabilitación para quemaduras pediátricas, independientemente de la capacidad de su familia para pagar por la atención recibida. Cada centro de atención de personas con quemaduras cuenta con personal y equipo de excelente calidad para realizar cirugías reconstructivas y reparadoras en quemaduras cicatrizadas, y ofrece distintos tratamientos para otras afecciones de la piel.

Atención más allá de las cuatro paredes
El personal atiende las necesidades médicas y emocionales de cada niño, así como también las necesidades y preocupaciones de la familia a lo largo del proceso. Un equipo multidisciplinario trabaja en estrecha colaboración con el paciente y la familia para ofrecer apoyo durante la recuperación del niño y la transición a la escuela y la vida familiar.

El hospital pediátrico Shriners Hospitals for Children, con 22 centros en Estados Unidos, Canadá y México, brinda atención de avanzada para niños con problemas ortopédicos, quemaduras, lesiones de columna, labio leporino y paladar hendido.

El regalo de la prevención

La época navideña es un buen momento para tomar conciencia de la seguridad de familiares y amigos. Rellene las clásicas medias navideñas o coloque debajo del árbol regalos originales para sus seres queridos. A continuación, encontrará algunas ideas para sorprenderlos:

Escalera de escape
La Asociación Nacional de Protección contra Incendios recomienda a los propietarios que guarden una escalera de escape en cada habitación que esté por encima de la planta baja. Muchos modelos se guardan fácilmente debajo de la cama o en el armario.

Detector de humo
Algunos modelos nuevos de detectores de humo ofrecen tecnologías avanzadas, como mensajes de texto cuando se detecta algún riesgo o cuando las pilas se están agotando.

Velas sin llama
La vela es uno de los productos más regalados: una vela sin llama es una manera más segura de ambientar un cuarto.

Extintor de incendios
Este equipo de seguridad sería una adición útil para la cocina, el garaje o el taller.

Pilas
Rellene las medias con muchas pilas para asegurarse de que los detectores de humo funcionen correctamente por mucho tiempo.

Teremana Tequila and Wingstop team up for Fans of Flavor: wing-and-margarita pairings, a pairing generator, and a sweepstakes through Feb. 8.

Teremana® The People’s Margarita and Wingstop Original Hot Wings

Teremana® Tequila Partners With Wingstop to Celebrate Fans of Flavor This Postseason

Teremana® Tequila is bringing the good energy to game day. In a new “Fans of Flavor” partnership announced Jan. 9, 2026, the premium tequila brand founded by Dwayne Johnson is teaming up with Wingstop—the global wing brand known for fresh, made-to-order chicken wings, bold flavors, and its iconic housemade ranch—to help fans turn watch parties into full-on flavor celebrations. The idea is simple: rival teams may split the room, but wings and margaritas are universal.

Wings + Margaritas: A Game Day Pairing Worth Building Around

From now through Feb. 8, fans can explore wing-and-cocktail combinations using the new Fans of Flavor pairing generator, built to match Wingstop’s signature flavors with Teremana margarita recipes. It’s a fun way to level up the table—where the food, drinks, and people become the main event. Here are a few standout pairings highlighted in the launch:
  • Wingstop Original Hot wings + Teremana® The People’s Margarita for a tropical twist on a classic heat-forward flavor
  • Wingstop Spicy Korean Q wings + Teremana® Spicy Margarita for heat that builds and keeps the party going
  • Wingstop Garlic Parmesan wings + Teremana® Strawberry Margarita for a fresh, fruity contrast against savory richness

Sweepstakes: Win the Ultimate Game Day Flavor Fest

The partnership also includes a nationwide sweepstakes offering fans a shot at a seriously upgraded watch party. One grand prize winner will receive the Ultimate Game Day Flavor Fest, featuring:
  • Wingstop gift cards
  • Game day drink funds
  • A 75″ TV
  • Support for a private bartender and party essentials
Plus, 60 additional winners will each receive Teremana drink cash prizes and a Wingstop gift card—an extra nod to the 60th anniversary of football’s biggest game. Official rules and prize values are available at TeremanaFansofFlavor.com.

“Mana” Meets Flavor: The Point of the Partnership

At its core, this collaboration is built around shared moments—bold taste, good company, and the kind of food-and-drink spread that makes people linger a little longer. Teremana’s brand philosophy centers on Mana—good energy that brings people together—and the pairing concept fits naturally into how fans already celebrate postseason football. “Wingstop has always delivered on bold flavor, and that spirit shows up naturally in how people enjoy Teremana on game day,” said Richard Black, CEO of Teremana® Tequila. “The best game day moments don’t happen by accident, they come from good energy, great flavor, and the people you share them with.”
