Learn MoreWhat we watch for in Irvine
Half the homes here went up after 2002, and masonry is unusual, with metal or gas fireplaces far more common. Brick concerns hardly apply. A gas unit still needs a clear vent and a metal flue still has joints, so our camera has useful work here too. The hills to the south shelter a mild coastal climate with warm summers. The 2020 Silverado Fire began in those foothills and led to large evacuations, and the San Joaquin Hills blind thrust lies under the same high ground.
What Could Feed a Fire
Embers from foothill fires reaching a metal cap on a home near the east side, with lint or debris in the vent below.
How Fumes Could Get In
A blocked or separated gas vent inside a condo or village home, letting exhaust stay inside instead of leaving.
What We Check First
Gas vent and metal flue condition, since most homes here have no masonry chimney to inspect.
