Learn MoreWhat we watch for in Brea
Just over half the homes are detached, and about 55 percent predate 1980, with condos filling the rest. Old Olinda was an oil community. Brick and metal both appear here, so we work out which you have and tell you what that one tends to do over time. Warm summers and cool nights by the Puente and Chino Hills wear on mortar and metal. Dry Santa Ana gusts lift loose caps and spread embers, and both the 2014 La Habra and nearby 2008 Chino Hills quakes shook this city.
What Could Feed a Fire
Embers carried by dry fall gusts toward a loose cap, or soot left in a post-war stack.
How Fumes Could Get In
Mortar opened in 2008 or 2014 in a brick stack, or a shifted joint in a later metal flue.
What We Check First
Shaking damage from 2008 and 2014, in masonry or metal, with the cap looked at after wind season.
Nearby on the Same Run
We often visit Chino Hills, Olinda and Placentia on the same day as Brea.
