Sparky and PGFD B-Shift crews stopped, dropped, and rolled in to visit the students at PGCPS District Heights and Brandywine Elementary Schools for Fire Prevention Week. Students learned they should charge their lithium-ion battery-powered devices on a hard, flat surface like a table, desk, or floor. Beds, couches, and pillows can trap heat and block airflow, which can cause a battery to overheat. For more info: fpw.org.

National Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated annually between September 15 and October 15. Today, the PGFD is proud to salute the service of Probationary Firefighter Ethan Barrientos. Ethan is assigned to A-Shift at Station 851/Beltsville and, as a recent Career Recruit School Class 72 graduate, is just beginning his career with the PGFD. He was raised in Prince George’s County and is proud that his Guatemalan and Mexican heritage helps him serve his community.

“I am Chapin y Mexicano, and I’m proud to carry both cultures with me every day. I love the music, history, and food! My parents are immigrants who came to this country to provide a better life for my siblings and me.

I love being a Firefighter, and my Hispanic heritage means everything; it connects me to my family and community and inspires me to improve my skills every day. Even when I have to cook the shift dinner, I love sharing my culture by making Mexican and Guatemalan food for my crew. More importantly, when we are assisting a Spanish-speaking member of the community, I am proud to provide comfort and relief when a patient hears their language.

I am grateful to have a career where I can serve the community I grew up in and honor my Guatemalan & Mexican heritage as a PGFD Firefighter/EMT.”
