Learn MoreWhat we watch for in Duarte
Citrus land became a suburb here from the 1950s through the 1970s, so most chimneys came with the original ranch homes. Hillside houses add another layer. Half of the housing predates 1968, an age where a first camera scan can reveal plenty. With the Sierra Madre Fault running along the mountain base above town, masonry here has a local reason to shift. Storms bring heavy rain to the foothills, and evacuation warnings came with the Bobcat Fire in 2020.
What Could Feed a Fire
Wildfire embers drifting down from the mountains onto a worn cap above a flue with old creosote in it.
How Fumes Could Get In
Tile moved by the nearby Sierra Madre Fault, hidden above a firebox in a ranch home that seems perfectly sound.
What We Check First
Top hardware for embers and storm water, then the flue by camera for any signs of fault movement.
