Learn MoreWhat we watch for in Mission Viejo
A single developer laid out these streets on old rancho land from the 1960s, and about 7 in 10 homes are detached. Early and custom homes may keep masonry, but metal and gas lead. Half of housing predates 1979, so the older flues here are now reaching a real age. Hard freezes are rare, and most rain arrives from November to March. No major wildfire has burned inside the city, though two big ones, 2007 and 2018, hit the mountains beyond it, and a fall gust can scatter embers and tear at a cap.
What Could Feed a Fire
Embers on fall gusts from fires burning in the mountains, reaching a worn cap above an older metal flue.
How Fumes Could Get In
Aging metal sections from the 1970s and 1980s, slowly separating in a chase with bedrooms on the other side.
What We Check First
Metal section joints, particularly on flues over 40 years old, followed by the cap and screen.
